The GDC clearly is aware of this, why did they all sit around and go "yup, we should let that keep happening"?

These are just areas of the rules that the GDC seems to overlook in addition to most of the FRC community.
FIRST needs to update these rules about perimeter limits and size constraints to include that actions take by other robots causing a robot to come in violation of these rules will not be penalized unless the actions by the robot helped to actively contribute to said violation.
