I thought that the ref's determined one of the lifted robots was barely touching the alliance station wall (via the infamous "sheet of paper test"), and was not awarded the bonus. That was a very tough break for your alliance in the first semi-final match, as those 30 pts would have resulted in a win. Unfortunately, Rule <G56> is rather unambiguous regarding the robot being "not in contact with any element of the field", which includes the wall.
