Especially since it involved shoving said robot over a bridge or bump =P
but I agree with your expectations for the rules/callings.

In my opinion, I think (and I think that the rules think) that "red" robots should be able to intentionally "draw" penalties if "blue" robots insist on being in / too near the key or lane. However, it becomes a strategy when these "red" robots begin to play for the penalties instead of the game (ex. too many repeated attempts to draw penalties or chasing "blue" robots around/blatantly ignoring the game to try to draw penalties)

It'd could easily be made clearer, definitive, and a better rule if red bots could only draw penalties while both blue AND red bots are in contact with the key/lane.
