It is a sucky situation for you if your control box drops but its your own fault IMHO.

They quoted "aggressive autonomous driving". T05 says a team can be yellow carded for egregious robot or team member behavior. So I imagine it's up to the refs whether that is or not, and I'm not arguing the call on a yellow card. I just don't think they're supposed to card an entire alliance for one team's actions.
