Answered: <S1> disqualifications

<S1> If at any time the Robot operation or team actions are deemed unsafe or have damaged the Field
Elements or Scoring Objects, including, but not limited to disassembly of Cubes and/or Skyrise Sections,

Answered: Some <S1> questions

Teams should be Disabled under <S1>, if Disabling the team will terminate an unsafe condition

Disqualification should be handed out based on the severity of the safety infraction.
