My argument is that they aren't incapacitated. As a referee you can't make that determination until they try to move. I have seen many robots move around with one tread. Heck, we've done it in the past. It didn't drive straight, but we would have been able to move out of the way.

As a referee, I couldn't see myself calling a penalty on red because blue's robot failed. With the rules as written, I can make a pretty good argument that there should be no penalty or one penalty each.
