Re: IRI - What Can Be Improved

Placing the official IRI logo on the site would be helpful especially if teams want to make "IRI Patches" or for a number of different reasons.

But in all seriousness I would not be happy with winning because of a controversial call. Changing the rules during a game is wrong; thank you for not doing that, as hard as that may have been.

I'm sorry to report that it did happen.
In one of our matches, and the one before it, a ref gave out penalties for a robot breaking the plane of the home zone at the end of the match. In our case, we lifted a robot, but when the game ended the robot, that we supported on our wings, arm came up and broke the plane. We got a 10 point penalty and lost the 30 points for the lift.
In a later match, I saw a robot with a peice of lexan CLEARLY over the home zone line, and touching the floor beyond, not get a penalty.

In this case, either a call was missed by the referees, or the penalty did not get called for a different reason (maybe the robot was not outside of the 72" imaginary box). Obviously, there is not enough information here to determine which is the case.
