Movement Towards Video Review

After recent events at the World Championship, I believe the push for video reviews in FIRST. Many people don't see the need for them and I myself was originally skeptical about them. My view changed at the Championship this week when we were pinned for an extended period of time and the ref didn't call it.

Now on a separate note on what happened after the pin, being the driver I apologize to 48 about the flip. 100% didn't mean to flip and was just trying to get separation by pushing your robot away before I broke hard back to the secret passage. I hope no damage was done and that there are no hard feelings. The flip was unintentional but it happened so I will apologize for it.

Video review is something that I'd like to see happen in the near future to eliminate moments like these. Penalties as we saw this year have huge impacts on the outcomes of events. Everyone knows that the refs are humans and volunteers and make mistakes but it's unfortunate those mistakes can negate a team's hours and hard work put into the season. Video reviews would help make FIRST competitions run smoother and more fairly.

The point of this thread is not to complain about bad refs, but a thread to discuss ways to set video reviews into action.

What are the pros and cons everyone sees in making a movement like this?

What are some solutions?

Is this something that ChampsLive can help with?
