Re: Can a dead robot still score?

I think if my robot was dead I would not want an alliance partner pushing me over any defenses, whether or not it's allowed. Challenging, though, would be fine.

A robot could park for a capture at the beginning of the match and never move (even if not dead). They wouldn't be contributing any more points, though, other than a potential Ranking point. If a robot did that intentionally, I would not pick them for finals as an alliance captain.
