Now the rule is easy: if a game piece forcefully excites a robot, it is launching.
Another relevant point to consider this year they are taking the refs out of scoring (Last year in competition had to run over defense more than 2 times several times like 5 or 6 crosses to knock out some lights out in , this affected our RP rank 6 places week 1 ) then they eased the burden retooled burden on refs and it got much better. FRC learned andwent to auto scoring..lots ofcomplaints week 1 last year. So they listened.

This year ...fouls is te exclusive reffing focus in game (no attention to scoring)....so you can bet all refs will eagle eyed/trained exclusively on spotting any fouls. All game pieces/climbs are 100% auto counted for near real time scoring in fact the score at T=0 is almost assuredly the score unless a foul is added.
