Having just refereed, my advice would be to go to the head referee before the match to point out that the particular robot being used does indeed eject the ball, so that the referees know to look at it.

For those who don't know, in teleop the near side (in front of the scoring table) referees can enter possessions, trusses, catches and scores. They are also the referees who can complete a cycle. Which is a different button from the score button. The far side referees can do possessions, trusses and catches. All four referees with pads can enter fouls. But to enter fouls you have to toggle between screens. As a result, at Queen City we tried to have the far side referees enter the fouls. The near side referees track the alliance shooting at the goal on their side while the far side referees track the alliance inbounding on their side. So if a far side referee is entering a foul they may be looking at their pad when the ball is put into play, and the far side referee can't always tell what happened. If they are expecting a quick inbound play they will be more likely to get it scored.
