I feel that this game is actually harder on teams for getting penalties while driving. While there is no "safe zone" of the other alliance that drivers have to avoid, that doesn't mean that you can't easily get penalties while playing defense. At our district event, I saw teams be penalized for simple repeated bumper contact of an opponents ball, causing it to move in a certain direction. The opponent ball may be rolling around the field, making a moving obstacle. To be safe, you really have to avoid it or not be moving when you touch it. This is a much harder thing to do that to just "not go near the key" of your opponent or "don't touch them if they are touching the pyramid". Watch out drivers.
