Re: Should referees signal disqualifications?

No, it shouldnt. A robot is only disabled when it either a) poses a safety hazard, or b) the offense is so incredibly blatantly intentional and is intended to damage another robot
A DQ is for a more serious intentional violation of the rules, but not one that necissarily will damage another robot, or that is incredibly blatantly intentional. Thus, it is discussed at the end of a match. A DQ is an instant loss, while the alliance still has a chance to win if a robot is disabled.
