Wrong. The field tells the robot whether it is enabled or disabled. The field tells it to operate in autonomous or teleop. The field reads the battery voltage. This is why the driver station is hooked via ethernet to the field electronics.

The biggest thing present in scoring for Logomotion is the 4 Panelview Plus terminals around the corners of the field. There, a human judge stands and inputs all of the inflatables hung by the robots. This is done because there is no (economical and reliable) sensor to discern the different shapes or colors of the inflatable.
So in a sense, the field is just like one big robot

FYI, they are called scorers, not judges.
