I believe 254 was originally (incorrectly) given a challenge instead of a scale by the referees. As far as I can tell, only one red robot was actually on the batter at the end of the match. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/cGe8wdbfl_E?t=25200

Something interesting I didn't notice (despite being right next to the field): 254 appears to have been intentionally preventing 3303 from leaving its courtyard after the 20-second warning. Could this be considered a violation of G11? Rule, and blue box:

Quote:
G11 Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of
FIRST Robotics Competition and not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in
an assignment of a penalty to the targeted ALLIANCE.
Violation: FOUL. If egregious or repeated, YELLOW CARD
G11 does not apply for strategies consistent with standard gameplay,
e.g. a TEAM obtaining a BOULDER from their SECRET PASSAGE,
CROSSING an opponent DEFENSE, etc. G11 requires an intentional
act with limited or no opportunity for the TEAM being acted on to avoid
the penalty. Examples include:
A. A Blue ROBOT, with twenty (20) seconds left in the MATCH, is
parked in front of the middle face of the Blue TOWER. A Red ROBOT,
attempting to SCALE that face, runs into the blocking Blue ROBOT.
This results in a violation of G28 by the Blue ROBOT. Because the
Red ROBOT was not solely making an attempt to cause that Blue
ROBOT to violate G28, but rather to complete a Game Action (a
SCALE), they are not in violation of G11.
B. A Red ROBOT is parked in the NEUTRAL ZONE near the Blue
SECRET PASSAGE. A Blue ROBOT pushes the Red ROBOT into the
Blue SECRET PASSAGE, then drives away. There is no violation of
G21 by the Red ROBOT, as the Red ROBOT was forced by the Blue
ROBOT into the SECRET PASSAGE. The Blue ROBOT has violated
G11 by forcing the Red ROBOT into the SECRET PASSAGE for the
sole purpose of causing them to violate G21.
C. A Red ROBOT is parked completely within the Blue SECRET
PASSAGE. A Blue ROBOT, attempting to reach the Blue BRATTICE,
makes contact with the Red ROBOT. The Red ROBOT receives a
G21 penalty. There are no violations of G11 because the Blue ROBOT
was trying to access their BRATTICE and not solely trying to cause
the Red ROBOT to violate G21.
Maybe? Maybe not? Any thoughts? Should this be in YMTC?
