BTW, as I interpret <G32> as of Update 4, it would be legal to pick up a tube that was lying partially in the safe zone, as long as your robot didn't break the plane and you were quick about it.
As of Team Update #6, bumping an opposing robot in their zone, or lane for that matter, will get you a RED CARD. I would say reach in at your own peril.

Picking up a game piece that it only partially in the zone or lane would be fine as long as you don't break the plane.
