According to rule <G68>, scores are assessed either when everything on the field stops moving, or at 10 seconds, whichever is first. Because of this, it is foreseeable that one minibot is released in a match, climbs up halfway before the clock hits zero, and finishes climbing 9 seconds later, triggering the target. Does that Minibot count? I'm not certain for sure. I suspect that it would. But if the targets shut off at clock = zero seconds, then it does not.

That is what that question is asking. Remember, minibots have zero connection to the field controller, so they aren't shut off when the robots are.
