does the tether really count for both zones though? At the LSR, there was a robot that was in one zone that extended a tether device into the opposite zone---they only scored 10 points for the zone that their tether was in. Maybe it was just a scoring snafu, but I remember someone saying that only ten points counted for the region that your tether was in...?
Yes, you definitely count both zone scores. At the Long Island regional we sent our mouse from our home zone to the opponent's home zone to run up the score. (They had fallen over and their other bot wasn't too much help) We scored 20 points for our robot (10 in each zone), but as it turned out when their robot fell over, the very top was touching their home zone and we lost by ONE point. We learned a valuable lesson.
Our mouse was crushed in the last qualifying round by a goal, but was resurrected for the eliminations. We, now have Mighty Mouse ready for the Nationals (UNCRUSHABLE).
