Until that decision is made or they have shown that they trully cannot move, then they must at least try and move out of the way.

I wan't to change my answer.
-10 Blue
-10 Red

Same result, different reason.
Derek, they've already disabled because they are incapacitated. They can't drive, pretty much. If they do try, the refs will disable them (instead of disabling themselves). No impeding call (there was a passing lane), no field damage call. Just a <G22> on the other alliance.

Then again, as I said before, it's a pretty good trick to have a robot that's disabled hurdling.
