Can a dead robot still score?

"related question is whether a robot could score auto points for reaching if an alliance partner pushes it into the outer works (reaching is defined based on where a robot is located at the end of the auto period)."

In years past yes. We pushed robots in auto in 2014. I see no reason for FIRST to unallow helping an Alliance member.
You may have to push the non auto robot over the obstacle so you can contact it yourself

Past years rules do not apply to this year. Last year, for example, pushing a partner into the scoring area during auto would not give a robot set.

That being said, this year it appears to be a points-earner. (Though I must admit, the definition of REACH appears to be a tad vague.)
