Minibots Scoring after Teleop is 'Over'

In 2007, some pneumatic lifting ramp bots were specifically designed to start lifting 1 sec before the match ended, because the stored air would finish the lift before 10 seconds were up. So I suspect the GDC is going to give the additional 10 seconds and make sure the field is programmed to allow for it.

For those wondering, <G68> states Scores will be assessed when the MATCH ends and all objects in motion come to rest, or 10 seconds elapses, whichever comes first. The confusing thing is that in <G02>, it doesn't specify what the 'set time period' is, yet it sounds, to me at least, that the time period is the final ten seconds of the end game, before the 2 minute 15 second match 'ends.'
