Re: G40 change?
In fact, I was discussing this particular penalty among other technical foul producing rules with other volunteers (all but 1 a current mentor) during lunch on Saturday at GSDE. One of the things we came up with was making it a regular foul for extending into the safety zone, while maintaining a technical for going INTO the field, intended or consequential extension into the safety zone, as well as situations where safety of the human was a concern. This was called A TON at GSDE and influenced the result of several matches (IIRC, an alliance who did not complete a cycle won a match due to this penalty).
The point of many rules that produce technicals is "SERIOUSLY. DON'T. DO. THIS." I have a feeling these calls will be happening less and less as the word spreads and teams figure out how to avoid them, but this reasoning applies to many other rules - If you're getting a technical for it, why did you do it in the first place?
