Re: FAQ for Q&A

I realize that it's not a rule. However, I see no discrepency. Let's say they wait for the minibots to stop moving, and one of them hits the target. Correct me if I'm wrong, but <G68> says that scores will be tabulated after 10 seconds, not necessarily that all methods of scoring are available after 10 seconds, so I think that the minibot triggering the tower would not score.

I suppose that it could be misinterpreted, so we should ask the Q&A, but I would be surprised if they allowed minibots to score after the clock runs out.

I've gone through this before. If that blue box is a rule, they're gonna have to resolve the discrepancy by either revising the blue box or by declaring an exception to the other rule for the Minibot.

The only way to resolve this is by asking them and pointing out the contradiction.
