Re: <R16> penalty
Here are my concerns with that Q&A answer,

According to the manual,
Quote:
<T05> The Head Referee may assign a YELLOW CARD as a warning of egregious ROBOT or team member behavior. This will occur at the completion of a match, before the field is reset, and will be indicated by the Head Referee standing in front of the team’s PLAYER STATION and holding a yellow card in the air. In the first match that a team receives a YELLOW CARD, it acts as a warning.
(The emphasis is mine)

So since the Q&A says that reaching outside of the 80" cylinder may result in a yellow card, how far outside of the 80" cylinder will be considered "egregious" enough for a yellow card? How are referees going to determine that in real time? Is reaching to 85" inches going to be considered egregious but not 4"?
