Re: Penalties for being pushed?

I think G45 takes precedence a team is noted attempting to make opposing incur penalties via G28 and the move is intentional. I believe that usage would meet the definition of "exploiting this exception as a strategy"

As always, Q&A and Team Updates should clarify this ambiguity really quickly.

Honestly, I can't imagine the GDC intentionally leaving a hole in the rules that allows a defensive bot that cannot manipulate the game piece to score as well or better than a robot who interacts with the game piece. That's not in the spirit of FIRST at all.
