Something additional is that when a team gets a red card during a match, they carry a yellow card forward to their remaining matches. This means that the team would get a red card for a second yellow if they commit a yellow-card offense in a subsequent match. This isn't much of a consideration in this year's game, because there are so few yellow-card offenses, but it has been a big issue in previous years. (Carry-forward yellows are dropped when eliminations start; you begin elims with a clean slate.)

It gets more complicated when your robot hasn't yet passed inspection.

Robots that haven't passed inspection will be DQ'd (they get no points), but NOT receive a red card if they send a player to report to the field.

However, the player CANNOT PARTICIPATE in the match - no Inbounder. If the player does, then the entire alliance gets a red card.
