Again, it is not simply because you hit the estop that you got a red card, it is because you hit the estop and the referees did not judge your robot to be a safety violation while this was happening. If your robot was not in your control, you need to inform a referee before/after you slam that button.

again i'm not sure what consists of a safety hazard... in our case our robot was not driven by joystick or autonomous, and trust me. at full speed that thing was cooking, and we had no idea or control over what it would do next
you make a good point that you should read the manual and always express hitting the estop button to a ref before you do it. let them make the call...
