operable ROBOT, that ROBOT (the BACKBOT) must be positioned on the end of the field
farthest from the ALLIANCE STATION.
* Note: a ROBOT will be considered operable unless the robot has fallen over and cannot
be righted, or the ROBOT has been disabled by the field control system, or the team has
pushed the "E-Stop" button to disable the ROBOT. Loss of control due to operator error,
user software errors, or faulty mechanical systems are not sufficient to cause a ROBOT to
be classified as "inoperable."

As stated by the GDC, updates take precedence over what is stated in the Q&A. This is an old answer (02-02-06)to the question and a new answer in update 15 was posted. So disabling your robot during a match is valid for avoiding backbot penalties.
