What was up with the Head Referee hitting the wrong Emergency switch also?
PS Thanks 492 for trying to get us some extra time

About the E-Stop button,
What happened (I think) was this:
1031 went out of the field during autonomous mode. The head referee, Andy Baker, could not get the 1031 robot disabled using the referee's command center, so he decided to disable it using the E-Stop button. But since 1031 was on 492's driver side, Mr. Baker made the mistake of disabling 492.
You can't blame him - he's probably under just as much (or more) stress as the teams are since he has to make everything go smoothly.
