Cranebot? If you really want your mind blown, consider the fact that nowhere in the rules does it say the robot has to be in contact with the floor...I predict this is the year we see robots go airborne.

We've never been told about fouls until after matches, and we've learned to sit tight and be ready to send someone into the question box after a match for clarification. Not every team has developed that practice...at events you go to, do refs/field crews typically seek out teams during/after matches to talk about fouls? We do that for alliance partners, I'm just curious if event crews do that, also.
