I don't know anything about the score dropping, but a drop from 24 to 18 doesn't make sense if it's a correction for a hurdle vs. running the ball across the finish line. If a hurdle is 24 points then running it across the lane should be 20 points.

A drop from 24 to 18 would be the difference between a hurdle and a robot going under without a ball, or while touching the ball.

Waiting until the event is over and then complaining on a public forum instead of having the drivers handle any questions on the spot is not the way things are supposed to be handled. Did the drivers protest on the spot?
A member from one team said that he found a problem after reviewing some video (I don't think any drivers even realized that there might be a problem immediately after their match) and got a few teams together. He said that the attempted to talk to the head ref but that the head ref wouldn't speak to him about the situation.
