As they should have, it was the right call.

<G32> Neither ROBOTS, HOSTBOTS, nor MINIBOTS may break the planes of the vertically projected borders of the opponent‟s ZONES, including a GAME PIECE in their POSSESSION. Momentary incursions by a POSSESSED GAME PIECE will not be penalized if they do not make contact with anything in the ZONE. Violation: PENALTY. G61 does not apply to this rule, however strategies aimed at taking advantage of this exception will result in a YELLOW CARD. If a ROBOT enters the opponent's ZONE and does not make immediate effort to leave OR if it contacts another ROBOT (or GAME PIECE in its POSSESSION) also in the ZONE, then the intruding TEAM will receive a RED CARD.
Emphasis mine. <G61> says that an opponent can't cause you to get a penalty, which very clearly does not apply here.

So, if you are dumb unfortunate enough to get pushed into an opposing zone, you've got a problem.

Stay Far Away!
