    Default End of Game - disabled robots

    If a robot breaks down or is disabled in their opponents home zone for any reason, before the end game begins or during the end game, are they penalized under G25?

    Per the GDC answer below to the thread "defense during end of game", it describes a robot "intentionally" occupying the opponents home zone. So if 30s into the match a robot breaks down or is disabled for whatever reason in the other home zone, will they be penalized under this rule?

    Thanks,


    [A robot that intentionally occupies an opponents HOME ZONE during the END GAME will be penalized according to rule <G25>.

    A robot that moves into an opponents HOME ZONE during the END GAME under its own power will be penalized according to rule <G25>.

    A robot that is pushed by an opposing alliance's robot into the opponents HOME ZONE during the END GAME will not be penalized according to rule <G25> as long as they make a visible effort to exit.]

    The penalties are assessed if a robot is in the opponent's Home Zone. The only exception to this rule is if the opponent is preventing the robot from leaving, as specified in Rule <G24> and <G25>. If a robot enters the opponent's Home Zone and then becomes disabled, it would be the responsibility of the disabled robot's alliance partners to push the disabled robot out of the opponent's Home Zone to avoid accruing penalties.
