I've noticed the same thing. Next regional just request to your head ref that the refs need to raise the flags above their heads waving them and point at the offending robot instead of just wiggling them around.
I noticed it at the end of breakaway, seemed like the refs got tired of raising their flags every time a team went on top of their ball or extended outside their frame perimeter for too long. Breakaway had a lot of tedious, easily repeated penalties that I know I wouldn't want to go through all the trouble of calling like normal.
