First of all, congrats on the win! Very cool robot and the hanging and auto every round really looked cool. Do you think the lack of safe zone was a lack of knowledge by the referees and a mistake? I was under the impression that having your bumpers over the defenses was the only requirement to qualify as "traversing" and while you were traversing you were safe. It will be a very different type of competition than I thought it would be if no one is safe while they shoot.

Thanks.
