So watching regional competitions this week and last, what seems to be some of the most common penalties that get called during matches?
I have noticed quite a few G6's being called and G33's, are there any others.
Sorry if there was another thread about this started, if there was I must have missed it.

Not much for the ref's to watch on the field, so the primary fouls are human players: G5, G6, G6-1, G19, G33 (last 20 seconds).

G24 is not uncommon. When a team, trying to make a coopertition stack, knocks the stack onto the other side of the field.

For sanity's sake of those of us who don't recall the rule numbers, here are the meanings:

G5: 1 person in each HP zone
G6: touching tote and chute door simultaneously
G6-1: prop open the chute door
G19: stay behind the line in auto
G24: robots can't transfer game pieces across the step
G33: putting litter on the field


Others I've seen discussed that sounded like more than a single instance (first more at week 0 than 1):

G3: stepping on or over game pieces (including noodles)
G10: delay of match during setup
G22: height restriction
G27: robot touching outside the field (through the chute door)

I'm seeing a lot of litter being thrown in the last 20 seconds that isn't being called out.
That was my 400th post? Lame
