We was robbed!!!

[Nawaid Ladak]

it ws definatly a field error. if there waa proof of some movement by any of the robots on the red alliance during the hybrid period match 2, then i would say it's a diffrent story.

My team was on this alliance for the quarterfinals.

i don't think we got robbbed, even though some may se it that way. It showed 1279's inncossistancy, of their grippers. it was still a fun regional to watch (I had classes so i couldn't go)

our alliance would have had some major problems in the second round any ways

Unfortunately the replay was the first time our shooter failed (jammed due to battle scars, easily fixed) during either regional, and the first time that day our hybrid failed (trying to turn on the 1/2" plate)

Does anyone remember the score of the match that was replayed? We were told it was the 70-0 match, in which case hybrid or not, it would not have made a difference in the outcome.

And speaking for the entire team, as can be seen in the Bayou thread, 1279 does not feel robbed. A little disappointed perhaps, but thankful for the new friends and alliances we met at the Bayou regional. We hope to make it back to Bayou next year.

Can I ask that we not point fingers? Even if that it wasn't the intention of the statement. We tried our best that is our team cares about.

Also, we (the losing alliance of that match) are fighting an uphill battle in this argument. The only responses you will receive from that post are about how FIRST isnt about winning and the FIRST refs are all volunteers. This is all 100% true.

Something similar happened in our favor in NJ in 2005, and we wound up winning the regional, so we understand. Take a step back, take a deep breath, and congratulate the winning alliances, you can't say they haven't earned it.

Sure it was a tough break, but roll with the punches eh?

There will always be problems with the field. Even if there was a "foolproof" method of scoring, not only are the refs human, so are we. We're always finding scapegoats to blame things on. The field is one of many that we use to explain why we lost the match.

Also, the thread title implies that something physical, like a laptop or a tool, was taken from you. It also implies that your English teacher should give you some more grammar homework, but I digress.
