After thinking about it some more, i'm now sure that it would mean a
yellow card for
BlueBot, since he must have known that pushing
BlueBot into the
Redzone would mean a penalty. Thus if he purposely pushed him into the
Redzone, regardless of his intent (which was to reach the grid, not to have
BlueBot incur a penalty), he must receive a
yellow card since he knew his actions would mean a penalty for
BlueBot.
If this analysis is correct than it is imbalanced and may indeed be an
advantage for BlueBot!
consider:
Bluebot on the edge of the
RedZone, zipping up and down the border to block
RedBot.
RedBot has two options: he can wait for the match to end, or he could try and force his way in. if he forces his way in
Bluebot get's a penalty, but
RedBot get's a
yellow card!
