I wholeheartedly agree with you as pertains to hurdling or herding. There may be instances where a hurdle touched an alliance robot before the floor, or the robot was touching the trackball as it passed the finish line. However, laps are completely objective. When a team sees its robot complete 4 or 5 laps, and the lapscore shows 0, there's no question that there is a discrepancy.
