If the "there" in that sentence is refereing to over the one point goal than I don't see how the rules prohibit that.

If a ROBOT is in contact with carpet in its GOALIE ZONE, and for only one ROBOT per ALLIANCE at a time, there is no height restriction; however, any extension or combination of extensions above 5 ft. may not extend beyond a vertical cylinder with a 6 in. diameter (see examples in Figure 3-5).

Violation: FOUL. If continuous or repeated violations, TECHNICAL FOUL.
As long as a robot is touching the carpet in the goalie zone their 6" diameter blocker can be anywhere they can legally reach.
