Before the teleoperated mode started a ref came out and had to forcibly remove the keeper frome the robots grasp.

The match was stopped due to the Late Keeper. I'll say here what I said in the
other thread.
Programmers and operators : Do not let your robot drop the keeper as the first thing it does in teleoperated mode; before an operator even touches the controls.
This late keeper is grounds for disqualification!
Set your program and/or OI switches so that the robot keeps the keeper in its death grip until the operators can properly dispose of it.
