Scoring error at Boston.

After watching that autonomous closely several times I agree that only one ball was and should be scored. It's hard to tell if it was an automatic penalty, or if it was a field error.

I've viewed this match several times, just to make sure i'm not seeing things. We ended up winning the match anyways, but its a little concerning that there is some scoring issues. I was wondering if anyone else have ran into this problem.


O and you can view the match on the blue alliance right here. http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/match/2010ma_sf1m1

Reviewing the original video several more times, I'm not sure I agree that 2 balls were scored by blue in autonomous.

During the autonomous period, red clears one ball, blue kicks 2 balls from midfield, scoring with one of them. There is also a shot from the blue offensive robot which looks like it is being scored since the ball disappears from shot very close to the goal mouth, but as the cameral zooms back there is a ball rolling along the alliance wall.
At the end of autonomous, 1 ball was cleared from defense by red, 2 were moved forward from midfield by blue, and there are 4 balls left in the zone, therefore only 1 was scored by blue.

That still leaves the reduction in points during the match. This could be a field fault as discussed above but can we completely rule out a DOGMA penalty?
