Also it just seemed like the blue side was acting up control wise.

Do you mean that the human player was using the trident to unjam balls on the ball return or in the goals themselves? If in the goals, i can understand why the ball count would be off. The trident could have easily tripped the optoelectronic ball sensor.

We had one incident where a human player hit a jammed ball on the ball return (before it had passed through the return counter) and knocked the ball back onto the field without passing throught he return counter. They earned mucho ball return penalty points.
