Final scoring time limit
In Rule G05, does "all objects in motion" ... "come to rest" mean when balls and robots stop moving across the field, or would the motion of a robot arm of a stationary robot be counted as an object in motion?

Actually, I'm confused by G03, G04, and G05. G03 says the match "ends" when the timer reads zero, G04 give the points awarded at the "conclusion" of the match, and G05 says scoring happens up to 10 seconds after the timer reads zero.

Can the robot continue operating (autonomously) during those 10 seconds and earn points or not? Sorry, but I'm new to FRC ...

I'm starting to think the only point of the 10 second extension is to lose points if you fall off the tower.
