Re: NJ Elim Yellow Card Oddity

Team control panels falling during auto/hybrid isn't necessarily a new thing. It happened to us (1629) in autonomous in 2006. There was no penalty for the opposing alliance, and we were given time to fix the panel before restarting the match. I don't agree with DQ'ing a team for it during hybrid, especially if the other team can run that match. (I'm refering to the match where 303 was DQ'd at NJ; someone correct me if I have information wrong, I was only watching the webcast.) A yellow card, I can understand, and a DQ for a subsequent infraction wouldn't be out of line, but a DQ for a first offense seems entirely too harsh to me.
