RoboRally
Can a shut-down robot fire its laser or use upgrades?
Posters lean one way, but the current rulebook never mentions lasers for a shut-down robot, so this is a best reading.

Probably not, but the current rulebook does not say so outright. It says a shut-down robot resolves no programming cards, and two of the three posters take that to stop its main laser too. Older rulebooks state that a powered-down robot cannot fire weapons. A minority reading holds that lasers are not cards and still fire.
