It was for repeated violation of the 72 inch rule over the course of several matches.

Repeated and intentional/obvious? or repeated small violations?

St. Louis and Detroit were card-free, as far as I know. Didn't really see any excessive reasons for them either, other than the rough defense at Detroit (which can be blamed on the nature of the game / robots designed for it if you want to).

For their first 3-4 matches (until the card came out I believe), the robot drove out from the home zone, and within the first seconds, the ramps deployed. After deploying at midfield, the robot would have to race back to the home zone. The yellow card was given because it was an obvious violation repeatedly occurring. It was definitely not intentional, but it was something that shouldn't have continued.

No, Actually we only recieved 1 and that was during the quaterfinals. I believe that it was for over agressive driving.

250 received one yellow flag- it was the first match of the quarterfinals. We were given the flag because we played defense with our claw out (it broke during the match and became stuck in the out position). It was the right call for referees to make. However, a word to drivers who plan to play defense with a broken claw: if you have a wooden claw and you keep running it into a robot made of steel and aluminum, don't expect it to be intact after the match.

It's not like the team that gets the yellow card keeps the flag with them all weekend, displaying it in the pit or something. You really only would need a maximum of 12, and that's if everybody in two consecutive matches had gotten a yellow card. In reality, 4-6 would do it.

I believe they hand out the flags before the robots go out on the field. They usually have the robots queued for 2 matches, meaning that there can be 18 yellow flags out at one time

Actually 1930 and 1567 both had a yellow card by the end of qualifying. I don't remember the reason for either card being assessed.

None at the SBPLI Long Island Regional that I was aware of.
