I assumed this was a deliberate change to the program to ensure no repeat of a field issue as in match #1. I found out later it was not planned, but when the minibot went back to the bottom of the tower the impact reset it. So it climbed and scored a second time.

Not a bad strategy though if you have field issues and a very fast minibot.
