Idk I feel like a red card attached to any can war scenario is an overreaction considering how critical they are to success. It's minibots all over again.
I believe that is already the case in the rules.
In the Hawaii Finals, the head ref issued a penalty for each game piece and/or robot 610 touched, and for each instance, if they occurred. During semifinals match #6, they were issued 24 points in penalties as a result.
The issue here is how a team gets a red card.
