Page 20, part 4 of the robot game rulebook says:

“Teams may not separate the Dual Lock, take models apart, or break a mission model. Missions clearly made possible or easier will not count.”

So ultimately that’s going to be a judgement call by the referee on site. If they think that breaking the expert made the job meaningfully easier, then no points.

Generally speaking I wouldn’t expect that to be the case, but if your technique involves handling the expert particularly roughly then it’s possible.

We have found that the experts fall off their platforms easily. While we are doing our best to deliver them fully intact, does the whole expert (minifig, base, and loop) need to be delivered in order to count? Or does a fully disconnected base elsewhere on the field with the minifig in the zone, for example, fall under the "partially within" rule?

Thanks,
