Based on the diagrams on page 12 of the Mission descriptions, and the note in the Supply Truck mission, it is clear that the Light Blue region is included in the Yellow region.

Yes, the value of the Ambulance varies depending on the color region it ends up in.  According to the Mission description on page 14, the Ambulance can only be worth points if it ends the match in the Yellow region (which includes the Light Blue region).  In any other colored region, it is not worth anything.

All truly successful teams have one or more team members who are very familiar with the Rules, Missions, and Updates (and who review the Field Setup), and can apply them.  Your team members may also be interested in the previous discussions on this email list.  They are available by visiting https://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=VADCFLL-L

Is it okay to have the ambulance go all the way into the Blue region? I think I saw the score differs based on the color region it ends up at.. Please advise.
 
Thanks,
Suha.

Yes, to clarify the previous responses:

In order to score for the Ambulance mission, there are two requirements at the end of the match

— The ambulance is in the yellow region. —  Rule 37 tells us that "In" means that any tiny bit of the Ambulance must be in the Yellow region to count ("barely "in" is considered "in")
— All the ambulance’s wheels are touching the mat.

Robot Game update 3 at http://www.firstlegoleague.org/challenge/robotgameupdates  tells us:
an object like the Ambulance "scoring in the Yellow zone" will not count as touching the Runway, and it won't ruin the team's Runway points.
