This is purely speculation, but makes sense as to what the refs error likely was in getting a score of 32 instead of the correct 41:

2 robots = +20 ----> 20 subtotal

11 Balls = +11 ----> 31 subtotal

1 Goal = +1 ----> 32 total INSTEAD of

1 Goal = +10 -----> 41 total


YIKES -- at least I found an explaination that makes possible sense -- it was bothering me before...
As far as this scenario goes, all the referees do is provide the "raw" scoring data to the scorer's table, and the computer does the real work...and with NYC being last weekend, they should have been running v1.20 of the scoring system, the same one I personally operated at Great Lakes...during the two days of scored competition, I never once ran across a bug which would cause a result similar to the one in question here.
