Red/Yellow Cards

This year, if you accidentally extend past your frame perimeter for more than 2 seconds you get a yellow. Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous?

I think the addition of an optional clause for yellow card on G30 was very much needed. The GDC probably didn't expect the number of accidental raisings of the lifting mechanisms

At FLR we saw a red card in finals. And I actually have to say they deserved it. The card was from the 1 defender in far zone at any time. 610 tipped over and fell into far, the other team made no attempt to leave. It looked like 610 E-Stopped thinking it would allow the 2nd bot, but I think the drivers should have known the rules better and gotten their tails out of there.

I do agree though that the cards are a little strict this year. We got a red card in qualifications for being pushed into the ball return side of the tower with our hanger while trying to catch the side. We go for side, opponent pushes us (now that I think about it they should have gotten a card for hanging bot protection since we may have touched the tower), our arm bounces off side and catches on ball return side
