I've seen this happen several times over the years. It's rare, but usually only occurs when all other robots are no where near the robot in question.

Once on the Archimedes division field in the Triple Play game, Dean rode his Segway over to the field and leaned it over the side wall while he was talking to someone, oblivious to the matches. As the match was basically starting, one of the referees noticed the Segway, and ran across the field and threw Dean's Segway off the field so no robots would hit it.

It was quite funny to watch.
