Re: [YMTC]: Is robot debris still part of the robot?
If a robot pushes its disabled alliance partner onto the batter, and then drives onto the batter at a different tower face, do both robots get credit for a challenge? Yes, they do. Or at least I have scored it that way, and seen it scored that way by other referees.
So a disabled robot can earn tower points. I think the situation you describe is similar.
[edit] I think the piece that fell off is field debris, not part of the robot.[/edit]

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
