Re: [YMTC]: Should we have gotten a penalty?

I remember trackballs always score based upon their final resting location.. (that sounds morbid )
Aren't robots the same?

Nope, they specifically score the robots and the trackballs differently.

Robots are scored "photo-finish" at the buzzer, rather than when they come to rest.

Trackballs are scored when they come to rest.

So, you should not have gotten a penalty since your robot crossed the finish line after the buzzer. The call was correct.
