FRC Ref Panel Accessories

New referee panels were introduced by FIRST for FRC events beginning in 2025. The previous panels were mounted in a way that allowed refs to stash their penalty flag on the supports and many refs would tape a penalty checklist to the panel enclosure. The new panel stands and enclosure do not offer a similar capability. These accessories may help. There is a large shelf approximately 4"x8" (200x100 mm) that can hold a small notebook, red/yellow cards, pen/pencil and flag suitable for the head ref. A smaller shelf for other ref positions is primarily for holding the penalty flag. Each shelf can be pinned to the pole supporting the ref panel using ¼" pins or ¼-20 bolts through existing holes available for panel height adjustment. Each shelf also has a small hook on both small sides to hang things from a medium binder clip, jumbo paper clip or something of similar dimensions. There is a small hook that can be attached to the ref panel enclosure itself also suitable for hanging
