In the definition of Scored quoted below,

Scored - A Game Object is Scored if it satisfies one of the following conditions, and is not touching a Robot.

  1. A Ball is Scored inside of a Cube if it meets the following criteria: a. The Ball is at least partially within the three-dimensional volume defined by the outer edges of the Cube’s structure. b. The Ball is not contacting the Floor “outside” of the Cube. The portion of the Floor which is “outside” of the Cube is roughly defined as a vertical projection of the Cube onto the Floor beneath the Cube, regardless of the Cube’s orientation.

should the bolded part also include the wall?

Answered by Game Design Committee

In the definition of Scored quoted below, [quote] should the bolded part also include the wall?

No. The Floor is explicitly defined as "The interior part of the playing field that is within the field perimeter".
