The 2008 Beantown Blitz (Hosted by team #125)

Put on shows. Start new teams, FRC, FVC, or FLL. It doesn't matter. But I know that being on the robotics team has given me some of the best memories of my life, and I wouldn't want anybody else to miss out on that. - irishninja [more]

That's what I was wondering. The official rules state that if an opposing robot is in contact with a robot, the points count. As you have clarified, any robot touching the golden ball as it crosses the line underneath the overpass, no points are scored.
