Re: YMTC: Bluabot is Very Uplifting
As has been said, in previous years, the field is given a reasonable amount of time to come to rest- if necessary. Should the robots be moving upwards at the end of the match, even if relativ aely slowly, the points should be given. If the liftoff takes place several seconds after the end of the match, or is initiated only after some sort of contact with an official, then the points should not count.
If the motion is initiated within the control of the match, or immediate end, then it may be considered within the scope of play and legal. Otherwise, the motion could be assumed to have to be initiated by something external to the actual match- whether that be a ref, an air current, or Thor, trying to influence the outcome with a bolt from the heavens...
