Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?

Nope, a robot in the home zone in the endgame is a huge penalty for the alliance that has to deploy/climb on a ramp there. Without a penalty for disabled robots, it would be too easy to just ask one defensive bot to just go disable itself in the home zone right before the beginning of the end period.
Of course it is bad luck, and I am sad to hear it happened to 1114, but this rule, for one, is consistent with the emphasis first has put on ramp deployment this year.
