G28 During the final twenty (20) seconds of TELEOP, ROBOTS in their COURTYARD may not contact
an opponent ROBOT, regardless of who initiates the contact.
Violation: The contacted ROBOT is considered to have SCALED an open side of the TOWER at the
end of the MATCH.

Teams are encouraged to consider rule G11 when developing their
strategies, such as attempting to draw violations of this rule.
The ARENA will play a warning sound when thirty (30) seconds remain
in TELEOP as a reminder that violations for this rule will soon be
enforced. When twenty (20) seconds remain in TELEOP, an additional
sound will be played.



It happened at :19 so your should have been awarded a SCALE and extra 15 IF the penalty stood.

The BLUE robot did not heed th 30 second warning and violated your "attempt to scale" at 19.

They awarded a tower point , instead they should have awarded your bot a SCALE

Which it appears they did (but why the extra tower strength? too)
Thanks for much for the clarification. They had told us they gave us points for the tower strength, per a student who asked; but obviously he misunderstood and should have said that they gave us points for scaling the tower!

As in the past we have our students talk and communicate with refs and staff if they have any questions and we HOPE they remember what they said so we can better understand
