Answered: Parking and Disqualification

[TKM.368]

Can a disqualified robot still contribute towards the parking bonus?

Disqualification – A penalty applied to a team for a rules violation. When a team is disqualified in a Qualifying Match they receive zero (0) WP and SP. When a team is disqualified in an Elimination Match the entire alliance is disqualified and they receive a loss for the match.

Our assumption would be yes as a DQ is a penalty applied once the match is over, but it came up and we’d like a confirmation.

Thanks!

Your assumption is correct. All disqualifications are post match fouls. Thus, technically a robot cannot be disqualified until the match is over, hence is always eligible to earn parking points.
