Why would they have reason to? They don't need to know the rules. Their job is to evaluate the robots for awards.

The refs, on the other hand, have to carry the rulebook in their heads. After all, they have to determine if a robot breaks the rules during a match.

And yes, the answers to all three questions asked so far are:
1: Yes. <G23>
2: Yes. <G23>
Please note that both 1 and 2 carry a 20-point penalty under <G23>, for a net of -5 points.

3: Won't work. <G14> specifies pre-penalty. (This is one of the later updates to the rule; I'm using Rev F of Section 7.)

I'm guessing you're using a number pad and meant to hit the 2 directly below the 5. If not, and you did lose 50 points for that, there was a gross failure of the system.
