This is a good sentiment. Now it would have to be fleshed out to figure out what to do if a robot is really disabled. And then figure out what "really disabled" means. I can see an alliance captain asking a teammate, "You're supposed to play the next game. Can you please claim that you're 'really disabled' so you don't have to play?"
