I don't understand why they would yellow card this. It was once from what you say, and they specifically warned all of us about driver stations being knocked off in in "Week .5" and that we should Velcro them.

"You should expect the opposing robots to drive at your castle wall at high speed during auto, slamming into it. If your operator console isn’t secured, it may go flying. There is a strip of hook and loop tape on the shelf in the player station that holds your operator console. You should consider putting a mating piece of hook and loop tape on the bottom of your operator console to help it stay put. See Section 2.2.3.1 of the Game Manual." - See more at: http://www.firstinspires.org/robotic....OwoXGJhj.dpuf

Egregious is supposed to mean severe, and the examples the FRC manual used are more along the lines of humans touching robots during a match, not robots hitting the driver station.
