Edit: Lawl. I didn't see the poll. I've seen it called a -8 points at both the Lone Star and Bayou Regional.
The reason this isn't an option in the poll is because it isn't correct. Redabot never crossed into the Blue Home Stretch so the only potential G22 violation in the scenario as written is recrossing the red finish line in a clockwise direction.

The main issue at hand is the pause between hybrid and teleoperated. The manual discusses the potential existence of this pause, but does not define whether it is part of the match or not. I would lean towards not as a match is defined as 2 min. and 15 seconds long (7.11).

I think that every or nearly every ref would call a penalty for this, but in terms of strict interpretation of the rules this does not appear to be a G22 IMO. I don't see how a robot could commit a penalty while not in a period that constitutes part of a match.

My vote is for 12 pts.
