I think the same burden of responsiblity for the match outcome could be said about ensuring that our robot maintains power for the entire match.

1- Have the HP inbound the ball and then have your driver enable the ejector wheels.
2- Inbound the ball, move a small bit and then eject.
Either should only add ~1second and make it more obvious it's a possession. An extra second would be worth the extra points to make it clear, and I agree waiting for the light 5-10 seconds is probably not worth it.

Unfortunately, 4994 was having an issue with their intake motor locking up when it was not running when the ball was inbounded, so essentially our only option was to inbound and eject it very quickly.
My plan was to do it as quickly as possible with as little movement needed. I'm not sure if the "burden of proof" falls on the teams or the refs for these situations.
I know there were (3) refs on that end of the field. And none of them were inputting a score or a foul at that time, since we were defending 1718 at the time and they hadn't scored their ball...and I don't believe there were any fouls in this match.
I think we will specifically point out or strategy next time to the refs in that zone, so they are aware of what we are trying to do.
