Yes, I'll admit that it was a little hard for me to think that a robot that's been disabled by the driver station for unsafe behavior could still score points for their alliance. Or that a robot that can't operate autonomously could still score points during the autonomous period.

Funny that you mentioned dragging a dead (or stuck) robot...I'm also looking for a reason why a robot couldn't grab an alliance partner's bumper and pull them across a defense (not saying it's advisable, just wondering if it's really legal this year).

Drive your robot nose-first into a moat? No worries...just call for a TOWBOT.
