It wasn't very blatant, it's not like it was 2" off the ground-but you could see it come up.
If that's the case I apologize. I remembered a lot of jostling, and I remember the bumps being the cause of the ball-carrying, and I guess I inferred subconsciously that 33 got pushed up the ramp

and when I said I was disappointed in some referees, I was referring to earlier competitions. There was an instance where our hook missed (during the finale), and ended up hanging 5 or so inches outside of our bumpers, and the refs called a penalty. Afterwards, we pointed out that robot is allowed to expand to the finale configuration (eg. go outside bumpers) during the finale, the head referee said that you could only get wider in the space above the robot O.o we then showed him the rule, and he waived the penalty. I would understand if it were in the earlier competitions, but I believe this was during the Michigan State Competition.

@ Wayne: If it was obvious, I would assume not. That said, I wouldn't put someone who's easily pushed around in that precarious position
And if you're attempting to find a way to defeat 469, I would suggest looking into what 294 did... they were amazing. Somewhere in the thread below, the driver coach (I think) for 294 described their strategy.
