It's broke, by the way. No doubt about that.

Okay, I'll give you that.
But there's been 6 weeks to know the rules. Maybe the HP got into the heat of the moment and tossed the ball in without paying attention. TF for whatever alliance he's on. He should already know that it was a TF.
A better suggestion.
Give a little more leeway in tech fouls, or at least the G40 one. There are a lot more technical fouls that do deserve a 50 point penalty.
Let's say you lowered it to 20 points.
Red alliance has 2 robots that can throw and 1 can catch and hit one pointer.
Red alliance accidentally commits a G12 against Blue alliance.
20 point penalty to Red.
Red goes for truss shot, the second red bot catches and goes for high goal and makes it, all in an amount of time for it to not be considered an extended amount of possession.
30 points, already made up for the Tech foul and got 10 points to spare.
Now lets keep it the way it is, at 50 points.
Now Red is still behind 20 points.
For G40 infractions, give it just a little bit more leeway. But for other tech fouls (like in the example) I'd say keep it the way it is.
