Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL


I like this update. I think it keeps serious offenses as a Technical Foul (50 points) but moves minor infractions to a Foul (20 points).
One robot blocking a team from getting to a ball isn't truly blockading the field. Since it was my team's robot against two opposing robots. G25 is and always has been aimed at strategies pertaining to multiple robots. I remember because last year my team asked several questions about G25 to the head ref at our regional.
