If you've been in FRC for any reasonable length of time you have probably been hit by a robot and you probably weren't injured. I am all for safety but 50 points for pointing too enthusiastically with no robots around is extreme.

Again the rules are the way they are written this year, but they should be looked at closely and drastically improved in future years.
I am not eying to be mean here, but what is to close and what is to long? When things are bashing in front of you time is flying by. Even with the hard rules we referee by we have to make calls on who initiates the contact when both sides are running full tilt at each other.
