I don't know why everyone is making it so complicated. Don't play defense near the key and lane and it won't be an issue.
Say you're in between the opposing team's lane, and an opposing robot (Even clear across the field). The opposing robot pushes you into the lane, and touches the lane. Should that be worth 3 points to the other team?

Say they pin you, back off, and force you in again. Should that be worth another 3 points?

Is that abusing the rule the way it is written? The intent is to keep you from blocking certain areas of the field.
If the GDC interprets this the same way, may the best drivetrain win.
