That does not matter in this case. For the purposes of "robot touching a tetra" for scoring count (especially in the home zone when robots are returning at the end of a match) a tetra in the grasp of a robot IS NOT considered to be part of the robot. The indicated tetra should have been scored for BLUE.
As a referee for the past few years (including championship last year, GLR and championship this year) I am quite disturbed by the number of reports of inconsistent calls and apparently "made-up" rules at various regionals this year. I am sure that the referees at these events, as well as all other volunteers, share my committment to performing our jobs to the best of our abilities. I can only hope that many of these reports are the result of a mis-communication or a mis-understanding of the call/explanation.
I know for a fact that these forums are watched closely for feedback, and many of these issues have been discussed during the regular head referee communications that occur throughout the season. While I am not a head referee (yet) I will raise these concerns at the referee training sessions and do my best to assure that the rules are applied as consistently as possible at the championship event.
Good luck to all teams competing ... I am sure the Championship will be GREAT this year (as always) ... and I can't wait!!
