This game puts to much in the refs interpretation of the rules. This plus the fact the the fouls this year are so large that if you get 1 it is hard enough to come back let alone multiple. This year we have seen multiple calls made against us or not against others while the very next match the same thing will happen and we get penalized for it. At the western Canada regional we were given a 50 point foul for high speed ramming and intentional damage of another robot on the field. In this call we did go across the field and hit a dead robot bumping them. This robot though was on our alliance and also the hit was much less violent than many of the hits we had given out before. Finally to top it all off, the intentional damage seen by the ref was from the clear plastic cover off our pneumatic gauge. This was shown to the ref who said he did not see it as we had when he was clearly shown where the piece had come from. Also as clearly shown in this game. Every team no matter how good can be ruined by a human player who doesn't know the rules. In the same match as above we did 3 cycles each one the human player cross little line. After the first i told him to watch his hands and he just smiled at me. There is also a ton of error in the calling of assists and also on the reset, we waited for almost 20 seconds on the light up for a new ball. There is to much left to interpretation in this years game. Last year the rules were definitive. Either you did something or you didn't. It had no maybe. For the amount of money all the teams put in to do this. Either the game creators need to be able to think ahead to see potential issues with their game or make more decisive rules which are easily interpreted.
