While this wasn't game changing either, and also during a practice match. Team 2410's robot launched a moon rock onto the top of the vison target aswell. Unfoftunately, this was not ruled as a scored moonrock. The entire crowd was unhappy .

Your drivers should have been unhappy as well. Practice match or not I would have contested this with the Head Ref to assure that this was correctly scored if it happened during Quals or Elims.

SCORED: A GAME PIECE is SCORED when it is fully supported by the TRAILER or other GAME PIECES that have been SCORED.

The Vision Target is a part of the Trailer, so if the ball was fully supported by the target it should have been scored.

I think it was at Midwest or buckeye...One of the human players threw a Moon Rock and it landed on top of the trailer's sensor bars. It was there for a few seconds before it was knocked off due to a collision to the wall...
