Re: Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals

I don't ref FRC because I don't think I'm up to that level. I did, however, ref FLL and an FTC competition.

FLL is relatively easy. If the robot goes back to base by hand, grab the object that needs removing. At the end of the match, total up the score.

FTC is another level. 4 robots to watch simultaneously. I think I did OK, but am not sure. (I did know enough to refer ruling questions to the Head Ref.) I had only seen the rules that day because I was an emergency "He's here, the ref who should be here isn't. Have him read the rules; he'll ref."

I don't ref FRC. Sometimes I want to, but then I think about it. It's a little out of my league. At least that's what I think.
