If the judges believe your robot is intentionally launching the boxes to the audience, not only will you get DQ'd from a match, you will also be asked to stop lauching boxes to the audience in future matches. If you refuse to listen, then you will probably be asked to remove the mechanism from the robot, or you won't be allowed to play in the matches.
If the judges believe the launching of boxes to the audience is an accident, then you probably won't get DQ'd. However, if it repeat again, you will probably be asked to disable the mechanism, maybe even take it off the robot. If the accident keep on happening, and you refuse to listen to their order to disable the mechanism, then you probably won't be allowed to play on the field again.
Bottom line. They will ask you to take off the mechanism if it is a threat to the audience's safety. Failure to play according to the rules will result in warning and DQ's.
