Nope. Unless the damage was major, AND they'd previously gotten a "fix your robot".

BTW, if the damage done does happen to the HDPE on the field, that robot will be almost certain to get a "Fix your robot". The hardboard was pretty chewed up on that corner--not unplayable by any means, but noticeable. I don't have any photos, but the field build crew was taking photos of the various field damage--all unintentional--the next day and spent some time around that corner.
