Thank you for clarifying, Steve.  When arguing with my husband, I DID keep referring to past mid-mission points in my argument.  :)

Now, I have to go utter those dreaded three little words to him... “I was wrong.”  Hahahahaha!

It is true that your team's score depends on the condition of the Field at the moment the buzzer sounds.

It's easy to miss.  Rule 35 says "Only the final (end-of-Match) condition of your Field is evaluated for scoring."

In past years, there were missions that earned points because of something that occurred in the middle of the Match.  Something like that would have to be explicitly written out in the Mission description.  None of those happen this year.

As written, Mission 1 does NOT state how long the robot must be supported by the bridge, nor how long the flag must remain raised.  So, raising a flag, while supported the bridge for a few seconds earns points, then the kids can move on to another mission.

I was told by other coaches I am incorrect and the flag and robot MUST be on the bridge when the buzzer sounds at the end of the match.  It does not say that anywhere.  And I understand that if it doesn’t say it, it doesn’t matter.

How is everyone else interpreting?
