There were at least two yellows followed by later reds at Palmetto. One was us. The yellow came in a seeding match when our driver station I/O lost connection and added a 2 second delay in response to the joysticks. Our driver did a good job of playing defense even with the limitations (no kicker, stuck in low gear, no hanger) but at one point t-boned the opponent and before the robot responded to pulling back on the sticks the opponent was on it's side. Our apologies to that team! The ref's made the right call because for all that were watching it looked like we just drove through them. The red came in the finals. This time it involved us and a team that we are very good friends with. In fact the two drivers are also very close friends from the same school. We hit them and they started to tip while chasing a ball. We tried to go after the ball and they moved in the same direction. ( their CG was a bit high) Over they went. Again sorry guys, it wasn't intentional but it looked like it, good call ref's.
The other yellow red combo was against us. Both times it was the same team hitting us as we were in contact with the tower inside the 20 seconds. The yellow also came with a penalty. The second red was in the second finals match, yes right after our red in the match before.
