In my opinion, the GDC has not changed the game. They cautioned you to not play defense beyond the yellow warning line. Now they have clarified the rules to potentially penalize teams that do this. Playing defense between towers is exactly where they intended defense to be used. No change. If the offensive robot pushes a defender from the tower into their scoring zone, that would be a yellow card on the offensive robot. If they pushed a defender about two feet into their scoring zone, that would be a penalty on the defender playing defense beyond the warning line.
Again, this is my opinion of the GDC clarification.
