I'm not the GDC, but my view on the rule is that no team member is allowed to come in contact with a robot or a ball that is possessed by a robot. This is not an unusual rule. When the human player is able to get as close to the field as this year, in prior games, this same rule was in place.

Also, in the Field Tour videos the role of the Human player on the side of the field is explained.
