After the regional was over, we discovered that asking them to return to the home zone was needed. There weren't any matches where we felt that a robot great than 72" had a drastic impact on the outcome of the game so it wasn't disabled/DQed.
You can see it in the video. Our drivers forgot to reset the switch for the ramp deployment and it came out when we were playing defense. We then went straight into the home zone. I thought for sure we would be penalized but we weren't. I had my driver ask the ref why and he said it was because the deployment happened after we were hit and because we went straight into the zone.
