Can an immobile robot POSSESS a BALL?

I'm confused as to why you think this is not graciously professional? Both robots are from the same alliance, and one robot is immobile (radio problems, cRIO reset, dead battery, etc). They are serving a useful function to their alliance and helping to score points simply by being on the field, even though their robot is non-functional. That's more than can be said for a dead robot in almost every other game.

Im sorry, I misinterpreted the scenario. That would be a great use for a dead bot, but I don't think the refs will give it the assist. I hope I am wrong.
