Thats just how I would call it if I was head ref, it makes people mad but when it comes down to judgments like this the head ref's decision is final.
Well I hope you aren't head ref at any event we're at. If the GDC wanted to penalize crossing the line and contacting an opponent with a red card, they would have put it in the rules. It's not the referee's place to make up rules, they're supposed to apply the ones that are written. In my mind, egregious behavior is bashing a robot until it's damaged or a drive team member swearing at a referee or opponent.
