I don't think it should be a penalty for stuff UNintentionally dropping off the robot; but then again, what is the disincentive for teams to build robots where things don't fall off, even inadvertently?
Things are going to come loose with all the vibrations and contact but part of the inspection checklist should include a box that says something lik "parts must be reasonably secure."
