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.

Incorrect, a hurdle is worth
8 points total without the bot crossing the line. Thus a correction from a hurdle to a herd(roll under), either both with robot crossing or both without, would be a 6 pt. difference.
