Have you considered volunteering to be a referee once you've grown up a little bit?
You know all these folks are volunteers? They do the best they can, for free. All of our referees in Indiana take it seriously and work hard to make the right calls.
Were you there to see it? A team misrepresented the cause and extent of the damage to their robot. Now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that rarely can a driveteam actually recall what happened in a match, so they may have genuinely believed what they said. Per the teams explanation, the evidence on the field, and the recount from another referee they had to make a decision, and a tough one at that. Don't even begin to think that anyone takes issuance of a red card lightly.
