Re: How many Red Cards will there be?

How many robots will not have passed inspection before their first match?

Now multiply by 3. (<T03>)

Now add about a half-dozen for the season for interfering with a deploying/deployed minibot or a robot in contact with the base. (<G2X>--there are several.) I figure after Week 1, most of those will go away. If not, then revert to a per-week number of 6.

Add another half-dozen for miscellaneous red card violations that aren't covered above, for the season, and another half dozen for second yellow cards.

Probably about 18 + the number of teams DQd because their alliance partners didn't pass inspection to start with.
