Re: Andy Baker is the BEST REF EVER

980 got a yellow card for grabbing 469's frame with there gripper's. The way it played out it deserved a yellow card and they didn't do it again.

For the first yellow card I can't remember the circumstance so I have no comment.

For the second I watched 469 robot come across the field to keep Cooney's robot from winching onto to bar. They entangled with them and tried to push them down and then after realizing there mistake backed off. I know it was an unintentional reaction but still would merit a yellow card. With the previous yellow card that would create a dismissal.

ANDY did great in all the situations mentioned above. Removing himself and making tough calls.

I thought IRI was the most clean and fair the games been played all year long. I think the ref tried hard to be fair and saw other red and yellow card given to other teams. Maybe 469 had a little target on their backs after a fairly aggressive (IMHO) showing at nationally. As driver's you just have to see that and put yourself in the best situation for your team. At IRI this might have meant playing a little more conservative (like a star basketball player with four fouls). I still commend you for playing all out but little decision can make a big difference.
