The championship employs a graduated penalty system to address rule violations while maintaining competitive fairness. Minor infractions typically result in verbal warnings for first occurrences, allowing teams to correct behavior without significant consequence. Repeated violations or more serious infractions may lead to point deductions from the team's match score, yellow cards indicating official warnings that remain on record, or red cards resulting in immediate robotic car removal from the current match.

Severe misconduct—including intentional damage to opponent equipment, abusive behavior toward officials or other participants, cheating, tampering with opponent robotic cars, or sabotage—may result in immediate team disqualification from the entire tournament. The organizing committee and head officials have final authority on disqualification decisions, which are made with careful consideration of all circumstances and evidence.
