This is not - entirely - an implausible scenario for while the electronics may be shut off at the end of the match, springs and pneumatics may still be in play... if there is just BARELY enough force to lift the robot and it is being held back by a LITTLE friction or bump in the cylinder... the robot may continue to rise following the end of the match. Likewise it is possible that a team may dampen their lift to prevent launching a lightweight bot halfway across the field, or simply for safety reasons.

Typically FIRST takes measurements "in a stable position". FIRST also typically states that if your position changes at the end of a match -- after losing power -- it is the final position that counts. Typically this is a negative -- you roll down the ramp or drop down from the high bar -- but in this case it could be a positive.

My call... based on the "stable position" and "final position" precidents would be that they get the bonus points.
