That is awesome.
As Greg said, the middle Toggle Goal was worth 10 points to the team that had it toggled to their color at the end of the match (it was a three position toggle, so if it was toggled to blue, the first hit on the red side would make it neutral, and the second hit would toggle it to red). There is some more information in the page from the BattleCry program that is posted here.

WPI has had a long history of modifying games for BattleCry, although it's only done to fix a perceived flaw in game-play (we would never make a change just for the sake of change). Perhaps the most drastic change was for the 2001 game, in which the 4v0 game was modified into a 2v2 game, and a second bridge was added to the middle of the field. On a smaller scale, for last year's BattleCry, the points for having robots in the home zone were modified to be 5, 10, and 25 points for one, two, or three robots (sound familiar?).
