Sorry everyone, I think this new subjective ruling is totally my fault. I had this to say in another thread:

"Our beef is with the harsh and subjective penalties associated with the game Aerial Assist. Being on the field is a high stress environment for anyone much less over-stressed refs and high school students. Mistakes are easily made, and having so many penalties in the game, and making them worth so much is our issue. An inconsequential mistake that happens to be observed at that time can cost a team their game. That is why I agree with this petition that the technical fouls should be lowered, changed, or the safety zone improved to decrease the likelihood of bad feelings about this game."

It is obvious that I treaded on some GDC member's ideal version of the game and to punish us they have added even more subjective arbitrary rules for the refs to try and call.

My bad.

(This was sarcasm and hyperbole by the way. To be serious, I just can't see how adding more things for the ref to try and call can be a good thing. This game is now literally irrelevant to what robot you build, it all falls to luck and to what the refs see now. I don't even know how to react to this new rule. I am thinking we will remove our wheels, that way we know we can't foul.)
