Section 1, Glossary: Clarification of released game piece

[2011FRC1619]

Part of the definition of 'Hanging' includes the game piece being released by the possessing robot. Does being 'released' mean:

- The robot is no longer in contact with the game piece.
- The robot is in contact with the game piece, but the game piece is not gripped/hooked by the robot.
- Something else?

There are several instances where the game piece could clearly be fully supported by the peg and there still be incidental contact between the robot and game piece.

As an example, if right at the end of the autonomous period an ubertube is placed on a peg and is fully supported by that peg, but the robot then gets disabled shortly thereafter (due to the autonomous period ending) before the robot is able to completely eliminate any/all contact between itself and the ubertube, is the ubertube scored?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Yes. No. No.

Hypothetical game situations are highly context dependent. It is not practical for us to provide definitive answers for all individual situations which may be presented.
