We did not give a penalty for 1332 this round. We actually gave the penalty for 1717. When 1717 deployed their ramps, the corner of the ramp came out of the home zone. I'm the one who flagged it, so the head ref came over to me and another ref asking what had happened since 1332 wasn't 72" and I had told him that the penalty was for 1717. He was so relieved because he thought that he had made a mistake that cost the win for a then undefeated robot.
The head ref did say that 1717 was a very gracious team and that they handled the situation very very well, so kudos to you guys!

Christina, thank you very much for clearing that up, I'm sure we'll see that and all feel very bad for misjudging the refs when we watch all our vids... As to the head ref (and yourself), send thanks from 1717 as a whole. When we confronted him and asked him about it he handled the situation with class and professionalism. He may have relayed what you said to some of my teammates and that information may not have found its way to me (seeing as we have a very large team). Thanks again, and wonderful job reffing the event, you guys very spot on every time, you all deserve recognition
