However after further contemplation they gave them the tube. Our team went down to question the call, but the ref's weren't able to give us a firm answer, just that what happened stands.

Here's the clarification I can give; if a tube is still in contact with a robot at the end of a round, it is considered that the bot is descoring it (which uses the "if the robot were to disappear, would the tube fall" rule). Descoring a tube
still leaves that tube valid for points, although it is also a 10 point penalty (edit: yeah basically what meatmanek said). As soon as the scores went up, both myself and 148's driver went up to question the call, only to be told that the refs were aware already and were working to change it.

Yeahh... our whole arm/grabber structure was already not in very good shape, and the tangle/fall did not help at all.
On behalf of team 217, I would like to congratulate 45, 829, and 1444 on their performance. We knew it was going to be an incredible couple of matches, and you never let up. I'd also like to extend a special thanks to 148 and 2133; you guys were aaawwesome. 2133, although they were a rookie team, put up some
great defense, and 148's ridiculous scoring abilities couldn't have been better. Good luck to all in the future and we'll see you guys at Nats
