Do you know if the 30 pts penalty is an alliance or team penalty? If its an alliance penalty, I suppose the partners won't be all that happy with the team that reduced the alliance score and also shot their chances of getting the bonus for having all 3 teams back home (I am assuming the bad robot will be turned off immediately and not have time to drive too far) That should eliminate alot of interaction around that area of the field. I will also assume that the penalty will still apply even after the human player gets back on the pressure pad - this could be a good place to stay until the coast is clear!
