Re: YMTC: Bluabot is Very Uplifting

The way I see it, they don't get points. As he measued the bots twice, and for the same bot, got 8" once and above 12" the second time, something is obviously fishy here. The ref should then investigate what exactly happened, and if as it seems, the bot was moving the other two up after time expired, it's cheating.

EDIT:
Consider my opinion changed. I thought back to last year's game. If a robot was still climbing up the ramp as the buzzer sounded and ended up on the ramp, it got the points. Similarly, if the robot was on the ramp and slid down, the alliance didn't get the points. Hence, I think that they should get the points based on the position the robot comes to rest at. Or, if it takes too long (in the ref's opinion) to come to rest on its own, by the position the robot is at when the ref makes his final measurements. In this example, since the ref measured bot #1 again, and it was above 12", bot #1 score 30 points. If he also measures bot #2 and finds it also at above 12", they also get 30 points, bringing the total to 60. Otherwise, the total is 45.
