Hey everyone!
We’re back with another episode of Pit Podcast, and this one’s a must-listen for anyone who’s ever questioned a call or wondered what it’s like on the other side of the zebra stripes. We sat down with Head Referee Brian Morehead for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what goes into any calls he makes.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How Brian got started as a referee and what kept him coming back
- His thoughts on the rise of COTS swerve and how it’s changed the game
- The differences between wooden fields at home vs using official field elements
- What it takes to become a head ref (and how not to get on their bad side!)
- The famous question box, rule study strategies, and advice for drive teams
- How refereeing has impacted his role as a mentor
- Design tips, favorite robots, and even some volunteer shoutouts
- And of course… the ultimate question: Chris or Jason?
