This is official from FIRST, so why was the head ref at New Jersey going ON the field after autonomous mode and removing rings from the possession of the robots?? Did I miss something? For an organization that preaches safety like crazy, I don't see how this can be viewed as a necessary action. The two instances I saw this done were during the quarter finals, and in one instance, the ref actually tipped the robot over because its grip was so good. I could not believe my eyes and am very frustrated with what I saw. Does anyone have any insight into this??
