Robot contact has nothing to do with it... I don't think there are any penalties for such a thing in Logomotion.

The difference is that the offensive robot can move into/out of their lane without penalty, while even incidental incursion by a defensive robot will cause a penalty -- or a RED CARD if they touch the offensive robot. Thus, the defensive robot must be much more careful than the offensive robot, because there are two lanes of ingress/egress permitted to the lane.
