I put more credence with those who read the rules and understand what the rules require the TEAMS to do.
There is no "should have TRIGGERED the TARGET" in the rules. You do it, you get credit. You don't do it, you don't get credit for it.
Part of the design challenge is to make sure your MINIBOT TRIGGERS the TOWER. Some TEAMS seem to have missed that. Apparently they thought the challenge was to get a minibot up the TOWER as quickly as possible.
