I said that it made no sense for a hurdle that should have been passing the ball under the overpass to be adjusted from 24 to 18. I now realize that I may have misread the post I quoted, but I mentioned that 24 to 18 is the difference between a hurdle and the robot crossing without the ball.
A hurdle is 6 points, ball going under the overpass is 2, bot crossing is 2.
Anyway, I don't think that this thread exists to stir up controversy. I, for one, am simply curious as to whether or not there was a scoring error. I don't expect any results to be changed, but, as I understand it, one critical part of engineering is failure analysis and how to prevent future failures. If there was a scoring error, then it would be nice to know how and when it occurred such that FIRST may prevent this failure next year.
