If a piece of the robot breaks off and that piece contacts a scored object, it would remain scored, right?
<G12> Keep your Robot together. Robots may not intentionally detach parts or leave mechanisms on
the Field during any Match. If an intentionally detached component or mechanism affects gameplay, the
Team may be Disqualified at the Head Referee’s discretion.
Note: Parts that become unintentionally detached from the Robot are no longer considered to be
part of the Robot and can be either left on the Field, or collected by a Driver (utilizing <G17>)

Thank you for quoting a relevant rule and providing a photo of the scenario in question. We would also like to reference the definition of Scored:
Scored - A Game Object is Scored if it satisfies one of the following conditions, and is not touching a Robot
A Cube is Scored in a Corner Goal if any part of it is contacting a Corner Goal of the same color as the Cube. See the definition of Corner Goal for specific details. Note: A maximum of one (1) Cube may count for points per Corner Goal
<G12> states that "Parts that become unintentionally detached from the Robot are no longer considered to be part of the Robot". Thus, the Cube in the photo appears to meet all the conditions of being Scored in a Corner Goal, and would be considered Scored.
