I disagree with alot of what was OP stated, but this is the biggest flaw I see. If you push me in I should be exempt from the penalty under the standard "can't cause the opponent to get a penalty" rule(unless they removed that this year). Also, by what means must I get out? If I am pushing full force directly for the line and you happen to be in between me and the line, who's fault is it that I am struggling to get out? I mean, sure I could go around...or you could let me out. Either way, I don't see anywhere in the manual that states that I must let you go immediately upon entering and go around you in half a second or that I get a penalty when pushed in. I'm not positive that defense will win it this year(I certainly think it will), but I'm 99.9% sure that going through isn't the best way to deal with a defense bot. As stated above, going around will be the faster of two ways.

I'd just remind you that some years they go penalty crazy, but other years they are relatively lax. I really think this one is going to be divided by regional as to how often you get it called. Some regionals will be fine with getting pushed in, while others will call it if your wheel so much as touches the line.
