Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
To clarify and see the penalties myself, I watched the final match 2 video over again to find them. Apparently team 4522's catapult that sticks out of the back of their robot was protruding the plane of the red one point goal every time they backed into it, which was the reason for the 3 smaller fouls (I can provide the video if needed). Those fouls along with the 50 point technical added to the massive 110 points on the final score. After some discussion with the referees afterwards, the penalties could not all be assessed during the matches throughout the tournament because of the inconvenient layout of the touch screen GUI (to call a foul the ref had to leave the scoring screen and open a new window, thereby preventing them from keeping score). The touch screen GUI in particular needs to be improved to prevent any further match outcomes from varying with the score shown at the end of the match. That is a completely different thread, however.
On another note: Congratulations to 1939 on the Chairman's Award!
