I read this to say that wherever tubes are at the end of the match is where they are scored. It doesn't matter where they were before that.

Thanks - But I had to throw in the towel and do some looking on my own.
Just from reading the discussion here (and just by reading the change history tables in the rules) it wasn't clear to me that Update 7 dramatically changed the definition of Hanging from OLD:
Quote:

HANGING – aGAME PIECE is HANGING when it is fully supported by a PEG and released by the POSSESSING ROBOT. Once a GAME PIECE has been released by the POSSESSING ROBOT (even momentarily) and is HANGING (e.g. it is fully supported by the PEG), it is considered to be HANGING until the end of the match. If a GAME PIECE on the floor is preventing a GAME PIECE that has been hung on a bottom PEG from becoming fully supported (that is, if the floor GAME PIECE was not there, the hung GAME PIECE would be scored) then that GAME PIECE will still be counted as scored.

That will certainly remove some complications from our 5th Gear scoring logic and from referees' lives. That definition change makes my scenario boring, instead of a way to rack up a high score; and it does appear to make looking at the pegs at the end of a match, equivalent to determining which tubes contribute to the score.
