thats exactly what happend at Davis. the refs should have killed only 30 but instead they killed an entire 60 when this happend. The ringers were touching sections sections of the ramp that didnt need to contact the floor to support a robot so they killed all of our points (they should have kept at least thirty b/c the other isde had no tube interfernce).
