No, the only points removed were for the penalties. The score was not altered in anyway. Nowhere in the rules does it call for the removal of points scored by the DQed team. Also, there is no way for the refs to track the individual points scored by a robot, aside from their laps. The scoring system credits all hurdles, herds and deperches to the alliance not the robot.
