natalie is an unknown quantity at this point
Actually, I believe there are two scenarios that will make this tie breaker valid. The first one can happen when, first, no penalties. Second, ball count equal. Third goal count equal. Fourth when Red team has one robot in the red robot zone and one robot in the blue robot zone. Blue team has not robots in robot scoring zones. The score would still be tied, but the Red team would win because it had two robots in scoring position. The second scenario would be when one Red team robot was in both the Blue and Red scoring zone (WOW what an accomplishment and it was NOT an entanglement issue). No other robots in a robot scoring zone. The score would still be tied, but Red would again win, because of the MYSTICAL robot in both scoring zones at the same time. I think these scenarios meet the requirements and the fourth tiebraker just becomes as valid as the others, although not very likely. Of course, ties are not all that common, but they sure do happen. I can remember twice in our local invitational in 2000 when we had to resort to the last tiebraker to settle a match.
