The explanation our alliance was given before match 3 was that a referee saw one of the drivers untangling the cords of a controller. While I dont agree with the call that was made, I can see why the ref thought there was a G14 violation.
After watching the video, the call for touching the controllers before auton should not have been called since they were just fixing it after things fell. Michael Corsetto is absolutely right that refs should not penalize teams for an inconsequential action like fixing a fallen controller.

As far as the tethering yellow card, does anybody know what actually happened?
