No, if your robot is unable to leave the zone for being disabled, you will not incur the 10 pt penalty.

What if you purposely disable your robot with the E-stop while in the opponent's home zone as an attempt to interfere? (this would be against the spirit of FIRST, but I want it clarified so that it won't happen in a match)

The demo made it appear that the referees made the call on disabling, especially in instances of danger. If you disabled in the opponent's home zone for no emergency, you will incur a penalty.
