If a play deserves a red card, then A red card should be called. There is a practice day for calls to slide by, but in eliminations, every penalty fitting should be called.

thats just what we heard in the stands. and it is also one of those incidents not clearly defined in the rules...and red cards are for those infractions in direct violation of how the rules are written and since this was a gray area it dictated a warning. it may be deemed illegal in the future but idk
the entanglement rule is there for a robot having a mechanism directly designed for disabling another in competition it doesn't necessarily apply to the field of play
with that being said, your robot also scared the crap out of us...it was such a great and agile design. we were very impressed with your team's design. you guys easily could've taken the regional with your alliance(nothing against the winning alliance)
