2--<G41>, penalty, possible Red Card, and with it causing a rainstorm inside, that possible is a definite.
3--<S04> or <G30>; either way, penalty and possible Yellow Card
4--<S01>, penalty, disablement
5--<G30>, penalty, Yellow Card
6--<G26>, potential disablement
8--strategy aimed at robot destruction/disablement--<G36>, Yellow Card

Penalty:5
Yellow Card:2-4 (intentionality says 4)
Red Card:1-3, depending on how many yellow cards are pulled.

That robot would be tied up in inspection for the rest of the event, under instructions from the Head Ref.
Eric would be a superb referee. However, he never would see this robot on the field.

Here are some obvious non-compliances with robot rules:
<R02> F. Matches are not legal.
<R07> Robot must have bumpers!
<R11> Articulated robot frame is not legal.
<R14> School name?
<R15> Team number?
<R16> Definitely looks like a "mushroom-bot"
No inspector would let that robot near the field, even for practice.

Still, it's a wonderful cartoon.
