Yes, Red can make Blue take penalties under those conditions; I've seen it happen repeatedly. Same with the lanes. As for touching the protected areas, *anything* on the robots counts. Since I've seen the penalty given for touching a robot with nothing but zip ties touching (Bomb Squad in KC) this question seems to have already been answered.
We saw a robot in KC that was warned about exploiting G44; they stopped doing this after the warning and iirc never got the red card. They were using the lane, but it's the same thing as the key. I have no idea how many times you have to draw the penalty before you're considered to be "exploiting", but it has happened at some point.
