Right, but due to the dangers of being hit in the head with a Frisbee, what would have to happen is a pit area outside the gates that you drive your robot into, and to have your team enter that pit area, you have to hit a button disabling the robot.
If you let your battery go for too long, and it dies out on the field, your alliance has to take a 40-point foul to stop the match for 6 minutes to allow you to go take your robot off the field and change it.
Mechanical/Electronic failures would be devastating, much like in the 24 hours of Le Mans.
Maybe something like this should be an invitational thing for the Einstein winners and finalists.
