Personally, I could see it being most useful in cases where you'd otherwise bottom out or tip. Games like 2006 or 2007 might be the best applications, though the anti-tipping nature might've been particularly nice in 2003, where an ill-timed run up the hill could land you on your back.
The problem would be making sure the robot could handle a disable command without self-destructing; some kind of kickstand would be in order, along with software that didn't allow the robot to spaz out when going back and forth between the two states (see also: 2005).
I offer a tip of the hat, and perhaps also some Krispy Kremes, to any team that can pull off this kind of feat on the field.
