Is the FIRST Q&A up?
I think they mean that you can drop a part at the end, but not in the beginning. Because if you were pinned at the other side of the field, and your ramps were in the home zone, it wouldn't seem fair that you would get the points for part of YOUR bot

In regards to the negation question, my team can't find anything in the rules that says you cannot do that, but the circumstances would have to be right in order for the point loss to be worth anything
