At this point in the season, could it be argued that extending beyond the step is strategic and therefore a Red Card? Exactly how does one define ‘egregious’? Certainly causing Red to lose the bin or breaking their arms is ‘really bad’, at least to Red, especially on Einstein.
Scenario two:
Red Alliance burglar faces off against Blue Alliance burglar. Red alliance arms only go to the middle of the bin, Blue Alliance arms go to the middle of the bin. They are about equal speed, and a tug-of-war ensues. Red wins and pulls the bin onto the red side, and Blue’s arms are still attached. G-18 violation? Probably not, it was not intentional. How long is that ok for? Can blue continue to fight against red in this tug-of-war indefinitely? Once you’ve ‘lost’, do you have to let go right away?

***not a professional, this is just based off of what I have seen***
Scenario 1: Probably a yellow card and a warning: they were not intending to break anything, but they still broke a rule
Scenario 2: assuming that Red and Blue's arms are not touching, but are instead touching only the bin, no penalites are given to Red, but blue gets a detatchment penalty (I think)
