Re: Letting robots on top vs getting on top of robots

Actually they wouldn't be penalized. The rules state that if a robot is blocked while trying to exit the home zone during the end game they won't be penalized.

Quote:
<G24> Clearing HOME ZONE – the first audio signal, sounded five seconds before the start of the
END GAME, serves as a warning for ROBOTS to exit from the opposing HOME ZONE.
ROBOTS attempting to exit from the HOME ZONE after the audio signal may not be blocked
or impeded in this attempt.
<G25> END GAME play – ROBOTS may not occupy the opponents HOME ZONE during the END
GAME. Any ROBOT in an opponent’s HOME ZONE at the start of the END GAME will be
assessed a 10-point penalty. A second 10-point penalty will be assessed if the ROBOT is
still in the HOME ZONE 5 seconds after the start of the END GAME. Another 10-point
penalty will be assessed if the ROBOT remains in the HOME ZONE 10 seconds after the
start of the END GAME. However, a ROBOT that has been blocked or otherwise prevented
from exiting the HOME ZONE (as described in Rule <G24>) will not be assessed any
penalty.
