I think that the question is more referring to the fact that since something fell off the robot, the part that fell off is below the top of the low goal, even though the rest of the robot is above it. Thus the part that fell off and is subsequently below the low goal would mean that not all of the robot is above the top of the low goal, and thus there would be no scale.

What the OP is asking is whether or not the piece that fell off counts as part of the robot. I don't think that it would because once it fell off it would be considered field debrief and no longer part of the robot. Therefore the scale would count.
