Re: YMTC: Bluabot "Descores" Red Tetra

Not sure why this one is even a question.

Cory has it right. When Redabot comes in contact with the red tetra, and maintains contact after the end of the match, the tetra no longer satisfies the definition of SCORED. Thus, it is no longer counted in the Redateam score, and Redateam loses the match and finals.

Update #18 does not apply, for two reasons. The specific question adressed in Update #18 has to do with a situation where Redabot would remove a blue tetra from a goal, which is not the situation here. Also, the update has to do with the specifics of a tetra that is removed from a stack (and therefore, the ownership of the goal may be assigned to the other alliance for the remainder of the match). This example YMTC has to do with an end-of-game contact situation, which is different.

The batter is still set, waiting for the fastball...
