The few scoring problems were worked out in the first four to five rounds.

The penalties, on the other hand, came by the truck loads. The massive quantities of penalties wasn't because of heavy-handed refs, but because teams were making simple mistakes.

1) Human Loading Zone
a)Robot not touching triangle.
b)Human player not in box.
c)Opposing robots hitting bots in the loading zones.
d)Teams using tetras that had hit the ground outside the field.

2) Uncapping by accident

The second penalty only happened once or twice, but the Human Loading Zone caused penalties for all but four rounds.

EDIT: I didn't think the music was too low. Normally the music is too loud for people's tastes. THe lower level actually made it easier for teams to communicate among themselves in the stands.
