The Head Ref performed the paper test and initially determined that it had reached the top. Then he remembered a ruling about moving the plate. After checking the rules, I watched him and the rest of the refs do this, they determined that the plate had to move. Although I was not close enough to hear the refs conversation, I was sure that there was a a ref at the base of the tower when the minibot went up. A second check proved that the plate didn't move when the minibot was removed from the tower. His change in ruling was based on this second and critical check.
I wasn't sure. I was on the sidelines rooting for their alliance. Thanks for clearing that one up
