Ben,

You're not alone in thinking some of the DQ rules are ambiguous. The answer to your #1 is in the rulebook in the paragraph right before DQ1. ('The match ends immediately.') However, the FIRSTtech2002 board recently said the non-DQ team can continue the match!! I've asked them to clarify and haven't seen their answer yet. If you see any more official responses from FIRST pls, post a link here.

You are correct about your #2.

p.s. I've also asked first to clarify if a DQ'd Red robot is in Blue's robot-zone, does blue get points for it? No answer there either.

p.p.s. Last year was probably the worst year as far as DQ's go. So many coaches stopped the clock when it should have been a student-driver. But that situation shouldn't exist this year. Hopefully we won't see too many DQ's in any form.

Regards,
