Re: Is a disabled bot considered a bot?

However, what about if you sent a robot over to flip your robot back over, the robots are then protected due to the 10 second helper protection.
Basically theres lots of contradictions here. Wait for a team update/ q&a to revise because theres no use thinking about it now.
yes you have the helper rule, but once thats done the immediate penalty for 2 bots in the zone hits you.
