Re: The Canary Letter

I'm kinda glad to see a rule about this for the 2007 Season. In previous years, our robot has been damaged by robots who have "ram until it breaks" defense plan. With over 50 teams in a regional, a ref cannot remember which team did what. Therefore, the flag will serve as a reminder to the refs to keep an eye on that robot. Seeing the flag will also make alliance members talk about not being overly defensive, as well as remind the team to take it easy.

However, do I agree with Yellow Card - Warning, Red Card - DQ? Not really, I'd like to see you get a yellow card/flag and a warning. Then red card/flag and penalty. And any further action would be a team DQ. But that's just me...

Just my $0.02.
