Yes Fred - you are correct. This was an incorrect call made by the referees. Once a decision is made & announced, it is final - but you are correct - a bridge is NOT balanced if ANY part of a robot is touching ANY part of the bridge and/or goals AND the field. The refs have some tough calls too make sometimes and don't have instant access to the right answers - but the refs in SoCal did an incredible job and that was the only incorrect call they made in about 120 matches.

: Another time, with two goal balanced, a robot (Team #60?) had its arm layed on the bridge, *and* was touching a goal *while* the robot was on the floor. A referee moved the arm,, and the bridge clearly moved. After some huddling and with no explanation offered, the referees posted a score that included an accepted 4X multiplier. This one seemed incorrect to me.

: Input anyone?
