Sounds like a smart move. E-Stop, however yes, the E means emergency, but it's there so for safety. What if the program says.. go left, then up the ramp. But they are on the left side (needing to go right) and forgot to flip their switch the right way. That's not an emergency, but it can cost them the match if they drive the wrong way and get stuck on the side barrier.

It doesn't take much to disable a bot if it's caught on the side, we noticed this last year in the finals at GLR. After Truck Town blew a motor, we went with us (247) and 274. 274 had a small piece of sheet metal get jammed on the barrier when going for balls. That put us against 2 powerful teams, and thus a loss.
