No.

This happened to us over the weekend. We were essentially told to disable our auto and sit in the goalie zone for the whole match. We still won, but I can now say that there is no feeling worse than receiving a win that you didn't contribute to, or, even worse, contributed to through inactivity. (I hold no grudges against the teams involved, both of which are very successful teams who easily deserve the success that have, but I do believe that we could have contributed a lot more to that alliance if they had taken the time to listen to our input.)
