The remainder of the match is carried out penalty-free. After the buzzer sounds, the refs huddle to determine what, if any, penalties ought to be enforced.


Based on the 2008 Rules, YOU MAKE THE CALL!
Nice try. You can't impede your alliance partner. (Not to mention, a disabled robot that is hurdling is quite a feat...)

No penalty, other than a standard <G22> violation.

(Now, if this were Redabot, probably none, or a <G22>.)
