Re: Unfortunate Red Card Ruling on Newton

Watching a decent amount of matches yesterday and I saw three red cards for flipping and one flip where there was not (IIRC). It seemed that if a robot got flipped primarily due to contact with an...

Re: Congratulations to the 2015 Championship Chairman's Award Winners
