If someone intentionally puts the ball in your robot, you DON'T get a T-foul for that. The other team gets it!
If it accidentally enters your robot, it is on you to avoid that situation. Especially when you've been warned of it in the game manual.
I feel it is a reasonable foul because otherwise teams would make no effort to avoid possessing the wrong ball! It would add ~10 seconds to the other alliance's cycle time. Think about it, without this rule, holding the other alliance's ball would actually become a part of teams' strategy!
As someone said earlier, the red robot at GTR-E should have driven backwards or just stopped going towards the ball - easily avoidable situation in my opinion.
