Jennifer and all,
The BrickBeasts have discussed this quite a bit, and have come to the same conclusions that you have.But, I think an official interpretation would be lovely.(Please?)
Thanks,Amy Trombo

 Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Junk and Penalties
   
What is considered Junk? i.e. If we attempt to collect a trash bag and lose it, if we demo the building and don't collect the bricks, if we attempt any task really like airplane toys, methane, etc and we drop it and don't go back for it, is that considered junk?  In reading the definitions, it sounds like "equipment" is any attachments we have that we leave on the board. So we wouldn't get points for getting things into safety, but we wouldn't lose any either? correct? 

It's defined below:
D09 -
Junk Penalty – Caused…
• immediately – by each piece of equipment the Robot strands partly in Safety.
• at the end of the Match – by each piece of equipment still stranded completely outside Safety.

whereas:
D03 – Equipment – “Equipment” is everything you bring to a Match for Mission-related activity
