Re: Release of tetra at match end by referee.
At the end of the match, robots and tetras will be left alone until the referees are done scoring the match. Teams will stay out of bounds until the head ref signals them to come on to the field. At that point, if there is a tetra stuck in a robot, the referee most likely will ask the drive team members to remove the tetra. The ref would not be the person to do this.
The key to this situation is to have the robot easily release the tetra. FIRST is concerned about keeping the matches going at a steady, quick cycle. Teams should be able to get their robot off of the field (and remove tetras from their robot) quickly.
