Sorry Nate but that didn't actually happen. I have spoken to both parties involved and it was really just a misunderstanding.

If I remember correctly, that rule was tightened halfway-ish through the season because of robots like us (which is part of the reason we got so many penalties for a while)...

Yep, the Thursday of week 4 the rule became a lot more strict.

I remember that--you never want the head ref coming over during an event and telling you (as a ref) that there's been an update and this is what it does.

Yep... We had to call another drivers meeting Friday morning to make sure all the teams knew.

I was at an event one year and the team in the pit next to us 2 students began to argue and one threw a punch while another team member was trying to hold the person back. The punch missed and the student was escorted out of the pits. The team went on to win the safety award at that event.

A few years later at Champs the same team was involved in a confrontation with a volunteer that I've known for a long time. They repeatedly ran their robot cart into the person trying to take the robot home from the event when they didn't have the proper paperwork.
