Well without actually seeing how your wheels were attached, but by how you are describing it.. I would say that a ROLL PIN would have worked better, and you dont have to worry about them coming out or unscrewing... just my $0.02
As for the refs, they were just doing their job. Like someone said in a prior post (he has apparently been a referee in the past), you can't take out your aggressions on the ref. As for the "you must have your controls above your robot," I believe that was more making sure that the teams knew they what they were doing, and also that they were correctly plugged into their corresponding port, which in a few cases, they were indeed plugged into the wrong competition ports.
Again, as for the rulings, the refs try to be a little lax because it is an off-season, but at the same time, try to enforce the rules so that they arent broken, such as at the MD state fair. This is a reason why BattleCry is such a success; and realize that the head ref at Bash, Ken Stafford is also the one in charge of running and organizing BattleCry, so he is definitely not a "newcomer."
