If an opposing alliances Defense is legally crossed twice by the attacking alliance, it would then be in an "all lights out state" and therefore, by the existing rules of the game, be considered to exist in a "Damaged" state.
Any time before that state a particular Defense would be in an "Undamaged" state. Further: All 10 Defenses in the FIRST FRC 2016 game Stronghold begin in an "undamaged" state. Alliance Robots will attempt to "damage" them by passing over the Defenses at least twice each to "Damage" the opposing alliances Defenses & after at least 4 Defenses on any one side of the field are Damaged, the Defenses on that side will be considered "Breached". Upon the achieving the state of "Defenses Breached" the attacking/breaching alliance will be rewarded 1 Ranking Point during qualifying matches or 20 points during Playoffs. (Both Alliances will seek to each achieve the Defenses Breached state and earn those coveted Ranking Points/Points).
Does that make a bit more sense now?
Note: Just remember none of us here on CD are the GDC or the FIRST FRC
