Pending: Definition of Mechanism

[Saahil_Parikh]

mechanism: a piece of machinery

machinery: 1: B: the working parts of a machine

machine: e (1): an assemblage (see assemblage 1) of parts that transmit forces, motion, and energy one to another in a predetermined manner

Hi,
I was wondering about the definition of a mechanism and, by extension, whether a scoring object could be considered part of a mechanism. Using the dictionary definition of mechanism, it seems like if a scoring object was to cause another object to react in a consistent manner then, that scoring object would be part of a mechanism. However, the rulebook seems to draw a clear distinction between a mechanism and a scoring object.

I guess what I really want to know is can a scoring object be considered part of a mechanism? If so, what makes a scoring object part of a mechanism?

I apologize, but we’re not sure what you’re actually asking here. Can you please rephrase your question and re-submit, perhaps with more detail and referencing specific rules where possible?
