Re: 2010 Pittsburgh Regional

I don't know that you can blame them for targeting refs. You have to admit that the striped black-and-white jerseys look an awful lot like a black-and-white striped FRC target to the camera.

Regarding the intentional vs. accidental debate, being careless does factor in. Sure, maybe 1114 (or any other robot) didn't intentionally aim the ball into the stands, but it's the kind of thing that probably deserves a penalty if it happens more than once, regardless of intent. The safety rules aren't exactly the most specific ones in the manual.
