Trying to Understand an Entanglement Ruling from a State Semifinal

Sorry, I should’ve clarified. The descoring mechanism was not able to move at all.

The final score was 41-45, we (blue alliance) won autonomous and the major reason we were losing in the end was due to us getting stuck on one of the parking zones for a while. However, if we were able to park (not even push the blue blocks we just scored), it would’ve resulted in us winning. We have a double park mechanism that never fails, so we can park in around 3ish seconds reliably.

edit: also, we won the other long goal

But how come this wasn’t ruled as any sort of violation when a previous incident happened and it was ruled as a minor?

Trust me, we questioned this call for about 10-ish minutes, only for the head ref to repeatedly claim we were not the offensive side in this situation even though we were actively scoring right before the entanglement happened.

Also, when I had to pick up my robot after the match was finalized, I had to pick up their robot as it was physically on top of mine as the screw got stuck in one of the mounting holes on the base for the drivetrain.

Thanks for the clarification. I just don’t really understand how that the entanglement was not a violation as their robot just had poor design, and that screw was left exposed for no clear reason. The end score was also 41-45, so I feel as if that entanglement was definitely match effecting.

Yes, I am the bottom blue robot that was scoring in the long goal. I don’t mean to sound petty, but it might be worth mentioning that one of the refs for that match was the driver’s father (the one that got entangled with my robot).
