Excuse me for butting in, but I don't think you read his post hardly at all. If you read it, he said that if you were in the top 26 or so robots, and had a broken or DQ note, somebody in the team's scout group would be paying you a visit to find out why and if it was likely to happen again. If they figured that there wasn't an issue anymore, then you'd stay on the picklist. He did not say that getting a red card was an automatic disqualification from scouting. In your case, you would have remained on the list after the driver change, had you been at his team's event and been on it in the first place (and I'm assuming that you would be). Persistent red cards, or cards that are likely to occur again, will turn teams away from you for elimination picking, because they feel that you're likely to lose the match for the team by getting a red card. Cards that have no further issues (i.e., kicker was pulled back faster) should not have an effect.
