Re: Team Update 13 (2016)
In the past when I called a foul, I can tell you what happened, but I would be hard pressed to remember which robot/human player committed the foul.

Hopefully the Alliances will still know, in general, which fouls were called. You may not know which team committed the foul.

I presume Refs will still point and wave a flag when a foul is committed. That will give you some indication of who/when of a foul. Have your Drive Team's Coach watch the Ref in the zone where your robot is.

Some of the more nuanced fouls are going to give teams fits. I can see teams trying to pick up a ball in the Neutral Zone, and accidentally pushing the boulder into the opposing team's secret passage. If you don't watch the Ref, you may never know you were called on the foul..

Worse yet, the team drives into the SP following the boulder. Another Foul. Then to add insult to injury, the robot gets the ball, and then goes back into the neutral zone. Another foul.
