Re: 469 Entanglement / Bad Refereeing on Galileo
My call would have been pinning. By placing there arm inside of 93, 469 effectively pinned 93 from being able to move for way longer than the allotted time.

I'll agree with the overly aggressive styles of some teams. 469 did a lot of things well but used that powerful arm maliciously a couple of times and should have been penalized. I know their were several other teams that employed this same type of strategies and it got them where they wanted to go this year. Hopefully next year we will make an effort to avoid this type of play. Teams shouldn't win championship by disabling and damaging other robots. IMHO.
