I think this is one of those Gracious Professionalism strategies if you're talking about using it as a strategy. If you have a robot in the defense zone that gets knocked over, and there's no hope for recovery so it gets E-stopped, I would guess that any other robot on your alliance to enter that zone would get a penalty. Even if that is not true, it's just not cool to try to pull something like that on purpose. The E-stop is an EMERGENCY stop, and shouldn't be used as part of a strategy.

It is an interesting point though, I'll give you that...
