So, if the robot slides back down the ramp and contacts the mat after the
match ends, are the bridge points still awarded if it was fully on at
2:30?  Much the same as it continuing off the edge.

As an observation, per Rule 32 the kids are expected to stop the robot as
soon as possible after the match ends, which is hard to do in the
“north-central” region of the table where the bridge is, because it is such
a long reach.  So, the scenario that Jon describes seems likely to happen
occasionally...

Thank you,
