I would think both pieces would have to make it to the research area.  Otherwise the model would be touching the mat outside the research area.  Especially since the robot is not allowed to "break mission models" and if the points count as a result of "field damage" it only seems to me it wouldn't count due to field damage.

 

Field Damage

• The robot is not allowed to break mission models or separate Dual Lock.

• If a mission model breaks, malfunctions, moves, or is activated by anything other than allowable action, the

ref reverses the change as soon as possible (if possible).

• Field damage too severe to reverse is left as is and could fall under the Stray Objects rule.

• If points are earned along with field damage that occurs due to faulty model design, construction, or setup,

you keep those points.

• Field damage that obviously occurs because of the team or robot, whether intentional or not, draws a

warning. Repeats could make associated missions worthless.

 

Study Wildlife

Move the polar bear and/or the snowmobile to the research area. To score, they must be making direct contact with

the research area model and/or the mat within that model, but they must not be touching the mat outside that model.

The scoring bear is worth 15 points upright, or 10 points “sleeping” (on its side), and the scoring snowmobile is worth

10 points

I think the people would be fine because they just have to be touching.
I don't know about the snow mobile, or also the ice bouy, because they say touching only the research area, I would think there should be some exception but I havn't seen anything.

Hello,
 
While delivering researchers (lego mini-figs) to their destination, sometimes their parts fall off (skis/caps, etc.)
If that happens during tournament are any points taken off?
 
Also similarly the snow-mobile looses it's parts, so if it's skis fall off but rest of the snoe-mobile is delviered is
it considered scored?
 
Luckily the polar bear's head stays on it's shoulders :-)
 
any insight will be appreciated.
