Yeah, if you have swinging arms outside the field where all the volunteers sit, they can and will disable you.

the long sides of the field are roped off from spectators and the judges- your bot is allowed to extend out past the field borders on the sides by the rules - they can
not disable your bot unless it makes contact with the floor to 'return to the playfield' - ie, if it falls over, has to push against the floor, or the drive wheels go outside the borders.
If a bot was disabled because a judge or cameraman was standing next to the edge of the field, I would DEMAND the match be replayed - they have no business being that close to the field to the point where they are interfering with the robots.
