Re: Fouls that "Didn't Affect the Outcome of the Match"

While I understand your frustration, it makes me ask what are your Drive Team Coaches doing during the match?

It is impossible for anyone to see everything that is happening in a match. That is especially true of a student who needs to be focused on operating their robot or preparing to in bound a game piece.

The role of a Coach includes being aware of the situations during the match and that includes being assessed a foul. Fouls are signaled during the match and in some cases they are included in the real-time scoring (as I recall).

The Coach is also responsible for communicating with the other Coaches. Let me relate an example from a few years ago to illustrate my point.

The game was Breakaway (the game with the incentive to score points for your opponents). One of our partners was very good and routinely would score points for the opponents to improve their own seeding. I noticed that we threw a chain and it was temporarily outside the frame. I quickly instructed our driver to move and cover the chain so as not to incur penalties.

I thought that the referee had indicated a penalty. I immediately turned to our partners Coach and advised him. Based on my communication, he immediately instructed their drivers to stop scoring for the opponents and only score for our alliance.
