For the World skills rankings on robot events, it says that:

The columns labeled “Programming Skills” and “Driver Skills” represent the individual scores that comprise the team’s highest Robot Skills score.

The columns labeled “Highest Programming Skills” and “Highest Driver Skills” represent the highest individual scores in each category, these are used as tie-breakers per the official game manual.

When would the “individual scores that comprise the team’s highest Robot Skills score” be different than “highest individual scores in each category”
