Re: Team 100 what are you up too?!?!

I am glad Team 100 asked about multiple red cards. Particularly because of these two rules.

<G21> HOSTBOTS may only DEPLOY MINIBOTS onto their ALLIANCE‟S TOWERS and entire below the DEPLOYMENT LINE.
Violation: RED CARD

<G23> Contact (via ROBOT or GAME PIECE) with the opposing ALLIANCE‟S TOWERS is prohibited.
Violation: RED CARD

So if the minibot deployment mechanism breaks, fails or has a "it never did that before" causing the minibot to be placed half an inch too high our score for that match is 0 (RED CARD)?! I realize that testing and reliability are important, but this seems like a huge penalty. I think a few PENALTIES and tower disablement for a small error, RED CARD for obvious infractions is more appropriate.

Or if we are driving to the scoring pegs near the caution line (where there will likely be a lot of contact), get bumped, then turn the wrong way and bump the game piece into the tower our score for that match is 0 (RED CARD)?! I realize that another team cannot force you to get a penalty, but they can accidentally bump you toward a tower or pin you and then a simple mistake leads to a RED CARD. I think what they may have meant here was no tower contact during the END GAME, which seems much more reasonable.
