That could be a bit of a concern.
The rules state that the alliance can switch back bots at any time, so long as one robot is fully behind the line, so to avoid penalties, the alliance could send the another robot on-sides, although it would reduce the defense to one robot, it's better than a lot of penalties.

Perhaps disabling the robot might be a way around the penalties.
