  • According to Q&A 752, a dead robot can continue to carry boulders into the courtyard, and presumably damage defenses. (I understand that one of our rookie protegee teams used this extensively in a match where an alliance partner died).
  • I have read that dead robots have been shoved onto the batter to complete a CHALLENGE.
  • Dead robots have been shoved into the secret passage to draw foul points keep the opposing alliance from stealing boulders at risk of drawing foul points. (from the If YOU were the GDC thread, which inspired this post).

How else can you legally and strategically use a dead robot on your alliance?

Edit: Oh, snap. I should have named the thread "Bring Out Your Dead!"
Our robot had lost connection on the field right in front of the batter, but our alliance helped push us on for the win.
Not sure if that's what you meant by a dead robot but this is just an example of how they can help.
