There is a rule however that the pedestal will only light up when all balls that started in autonomous have been put through the goal. However, if a robot starts auto with a ball and becomes disabled and can't get rid of it's ball does the pedestal never light up because the last ball hasn't been scored?

Here's the quote from the game manual I'm referring to:

Although an ALLIANCE may start a MATCH with up to three (3) BALLS, the PEDESTAL will only be illuminated when the last BALL that started the MATCH is SCORED, effectively reducing the number of BALLS in play per ALLIANCE to one (1).
