Improving Officiating at FIRST Events

[Matt H.]

I would like to repost the noninflammatory part of my post.
I believe that with the massive number of rules and the numerous rules focusing on intent regionals are now impossible to accurately ref in real time. Due to the high speed nature of the games and overall competitions teams are often left completely baffled as to why they received 50 penalty points often not even knowing which robot the penalty was called on.
There is a need for some kind of video review system--although many would say this is too complex or expensive consider the regionals as they stand now. Video from the regionals is transmitted around the world and many regionals are held in stadiums where video replay is a common feature of events. First most definitely has the technical skills to pull this off.
