Oh dear, the rookies. We had a lot of rookies this year and it's always nice to see how much fun they have at competition. It's great to give them a general feel of how competition during the season will go too, but we learned this weekend to give them a lot more experience with the robot before letting them drive a match.

The scoring system bothered me too. I feel like if the scorer was a bit more attentive during the matches, a lot of the final scores would have been different. I also wanted the rankings to be displayed continuously, but that didn't necessarily happen until the last few matches.

Yeah, I do think that the referees did ignore the penalties for carrying the ball and having the ball under the robot. I was surprised that they were so strict with the ball being counted only when it was returned to the field, especially since those last few balls can make or break a match.
