I think when a situation like this arises, completely taking an alliance out of a match before it really begins warrants change. I can understand rules for robots destroying the field, or leaving the field of play, which deserves an E-stop/disable from the refs, but this seems a little excessive. Also; there seems to be about 20-30 penalty point average in most matches from what I have seen (NJ/Az regional).

Advocates of for G22 would tell you to hit the Estop to prevent the bot from racking up so many penalties. But then again it probably wasn't your bot that incurred all of the penalties. This seems to be that "luck" factor that's required to take you to the finals.
I like the cross-field signalling idea. Currently our robocoach sits on our side after Hybrid and cheers when we do something great, and that's about it. I never noticed if 1731 used their signaling device in teleoperated mode.
