Re: Exceeding 72 x 72 - Penalty?

I didn't see the following question posed in the FIRST Q&A:

What is the penalty for unintentionally exceeding the 72"x72" limitation?
(i.e. early deployment of ramps outside of the home zone - either via interaction with other robots or operator error)

If the result is a DQ, then "wide body" robots might want to stay in the home zone for the entire match!
