And I wouldn't blame you. See if your field reset can be trained to react to a "LIVE BALL" call. That's what we did in L.A.--any non-scored ball outside the field got hollers of "live ball" and a visual cue from the refs to field reset. (Though... if it's through the wrong goal, it's your inbounder that should probably be the one with haste, seeing as it's in your driver's box!)

First, that's a technical foul for the robot going the wrong way and ramming their opponent. Even if that ball doesn't go in, the opponent already got more points than most cycles have been generating. Second, if the ball meets the criteria of scored, then it's scored.
