I think the inconsistency, in part, is driven by the volume of penalties that needed to be managed, as well as the complexity needed to explain each condition. The penalties need to be reduced to a small set of observable outcomes that serve to increase the safety and sportsmanship of gameplay. Many of the things for which penalties were issued (e.g. touching the loading zone with the predefined section of the robot) seemed arbitrary in nature.
