The poster, who claimed to be the referee standing over the robots as it happened, did not say anything about knowing how the battery became dislodged, so I'm not sure how this will affect the ruling of a Triple Tortuga. |
Re-watching the match, 6222 did indeed get e-stopped if you look at their driver station's status light, although it wasn't obvious until the end of the match. A bit before a look at the stack light shows a Red indicator, which would indicate some issue on the red side. The Field monitor wasn't in focus so I couldn't see anything there.
Even so, if the loose battery was caused by the drawbridge (which is plausible), given Dr. Joe's prior ruling, is a tortuga. He specifically mentioned that tossing a battery due to a defense and getting E-stopped (either by the team or by the scorekeeper via FMS) as a result does count. All that matters is that a defense was responsible to a degree.
