Re: Would you pick a yellow-carded team for playoffs?
I think that the card system does nothing more than give a visual indication of things already practiced. It will make the offending teams more paranoid yes, but I would guess that the yellow card system will be used about as much as warning a team of overagressiveness in the past.
In previous years, you would always be weary of teams who you knew were a danger to get DQed in a round. But one stray warning woudln't really make much of a difference.
In other words...a yellow card on a team wouldn't stop me from selecting them at all. If a team has been red carded...well, now we are talking about a possible problem.
I do applaud the yellow/red card system and FIRST's effort to clarify rules on hitting and wedge bots this year. Now maybe there will not be such a grey area.
