Hazard immobilisation

A robot that has been immobilised through the actions of an arena hazard has experienced a hazard immobilisation. This differs from hostile immobilisations (which are inflicted by enemy robots), malfunctions (in robot design or engineering) and self-inflicted immobilisations (That occurred due to the robot's own actions).

Definition
a hazard immobilisation usually occurs due to a robot being forced into contact with an arena obstacle such as a House Robot or the pit. Being pushed into the pit or over a grille counts as a hazard immobilisation, whereas a robot making an avoidable error and driving into the pit or over a grille is refarded as a self-inflicted immobilisation. However, if a robot drives into a CPZ and is immobilised through a the actions of a House Robot, it is counted as a hazard immobilisation as the House Robots are meant cause to merely cause damage to competitors, and not decide the outcome of a battle. A robot lingering over the flame pit resulting in components such as motors and batteries burning out is counted as a self-inflicted immobilisation.
