Re: [YMTC]: Safety mistake costs team the match?
See - Travis and I can agree on something! (shoot, here I was hoping for "Clash Of The Bull-Headed Titans - The Reprise" but it looks like it isn't going to happen this time)
Travis got it right - Rule <S01> covers robot operation, not player actions. Rule <T01> does not provide for a penalty. If the referee were to assign a penalty as a "<T01> violation" they would be creating an extension of the rule that does not exist. And since we already know that the referees are not allowed to create additional rules, this would not work. So it appears that the only way the referee could assess a valid penalty for the action by Blueateam would be if the safety glasses slipped off the head of the team member, fell on the floor, the Blueateam member tripped over them while trying to retrieve the safety glasses, and as a result fell outside of the Alliance Zone thus collecting a 10-point penalty for a <G44> violation...
