Just curious, how different is that than a situation in which a team realizes the proximity of an opponents robot (say, playing defense), and while in the key bumps them several times? To me, that's "exploiting" a rule, but well within the intent and language of the rule.

I'm honestly expecting a Q&A on this to get a rather abrupt smackdown requesting the submitter not lawyer the rules and use some common sense.

Either way, I'd appreciate a clear interpretation to prevent ambiguity. That's not something I want to find out at the first regional.
