Re: Keepers after autonomous

That head ref seemed rather agitated at having to go extract keepers from the robot death grips....

The scoring table has the ability to keep the tele - operated period from occuring for an unknown amount of time after autonomous period ends. Thats why some periods would run a few seconds quicker then others b/c the head ref can tell the scoring table when to start the next phase of the match. As for the head ref at NJ being agitated - I must agree he seem angered having to go out on the field after autonomous to remove any keepers from being accidentally scored as if someone was forcing him to do go out there and get the keeper out of the robots possession. I mean he was just tossing the keepers all over the place as well as rocking the robot around and forcing open motored and pneumatic grippers. I don't care if he's been head ref'ing for 20 yrs. One should take great care in handling someone else's property to ensure it doesn't get damaged while being handled. Teams should not have to spend more time on fixing there robots all b/c a ref decided to rip the keeper from the robot. Teams have already spent 6 wks in building now they may have to spend hours trying to fix that mistake.
