Now, I didn't see the incident in question, but did you (or whoever else was manning the kill switch) wait for the offending robot to move back
over the field, before killing it? We can't know what the robot would do, if turned off--it might drop the tetra. This is certainly an unenviable position to be in, because if the safety-oblivious driver doesn't move it, the scorekeeper who takes the risk of killing it might himself make quite a mess of whoever's underneath....
