Just to clarify that situation where the tetra almost fell on us behind the player station... The Referee told me that had it been our own doing, he would had us disable for the rest of the match, but since 114 was pushing us into the player station while we were trying to cap, the ref let it go and said it was ok to touch the tetra above our heads for the sake of safety. This is a definite grey area in which refs will have to make some judgement calls. I think stacking on that end center goal is going to be a dangerous situation, especially if robots are getting pushed around. At the same time - it was definitely exciting and fun to watch I'm sure.
