190's "wrecking ball" design crossed the center divider into the other lane backwards. This was a penalty every time it was used (or should have been). It's important to note that the design was ruled legal at one event, but that subsequent events found the design illegal. I forget what all else if anything was wrong with it; I think most of us were too busy looking at a different robot that was ruled illegal and going "How is that illegal?", but that other robot could have been either way depending on rules interpretation.
