Re: Would you pick a yellow-carded team for playoffs?

Also, I believe that yellow cards carried over between qualification and elimination matches at IRI, and they don't during official FIRST events, which would make a yellow card team more appealing.
If a team has received one (or more) red cards, it may be a different situation.
As a driver at IRI i don't recall having ever received a yellow card or physically having a drivetrain capable of being agressive enough(we had 2 cims at 8fps)
our robot couldn't push a kiwi drive let alone be agressively driven. plus our strategy was pure offense.

just a correction for the reputation of my team
