Forgive me if I sounded omniscient, but I thought that, by definition, all parts of a robot combine to make the whole. Therefore, any part of the robot which extends out is still part of that robot. The definitive proof of the scoring in question is that we deployed our mouse into our own zone while our robot was there and we were only given TEN points, which means that the refs made a command decision at that point to interpret the scoring rules to mean that any and all parts of the robot are still part of the ONE robot, hense, ONE TEN POINT SCORE.

The reason why they allowed the score to count in two zones (in my opinion) was specifically that, that there were two robots (actually the same one) in two separate zones and you had to score them both.


Now, mind you, all of this is mere speculation on my part, and I offer my apologies for anyone who suffers as a result of relying on it. I was only offering insight as a result of experience.
