A lot of teams did this in 2002. For the home zone scoring, you only needed to touch the zone, not be completely inside of it. Many teams had a small robot that drove off their robot, connected by the AC/control wires as a tether, and drove it back to their home zone in the last 15 or so seconds to score the bonus points.

This is in reference to the "mini-bot" discussion
Also of interest here, is that many of these small robots got run over by the larger robots, or crushed in between goals, or between a goal and the player station wall. A great example of this is team 329's 2002 robot at the SBPLI Long Island Regional. I may be able to dig up a video of this somewhere later on.
