One of the few cases where in my opinion a replay of the match would have been a better solution as it was not intentional damage, but there is no allowance for that.

Fully agreed. That last match was sad. Both were great alliances but that final call was probably the right call according to the rules. Assuming 1024's robot could be fixed immediately and ready for match 4, I agree that the fans and probably both alliances would've been cool with a rematch

That wasn't really a fun match :/, especially because the role we had 1983 playing in those finals matches wasn't one such that we could lose them for a match and still come out on top easily.

Was that similar to what happened to 234 (my team) in this match?

We had a brownout issue that caused the radio to lose connection but left enough power to keep the tread going. To say the least, we had to E-Stop it.
