Try again.
The rule referenced is G5. The portion of that that you're thinking of (the second of three, not counting the penalty description) reads "For ROBOTS starting in their GOALIE ZONE the TEAM may decide if the BALL is: staged between the TRUSS and the ZONE LINE and not contacting an ALLIANCE partner, or removed from the FIELD for the MATCH."
Mind you, that does mean that as long as that there is light showing between the second ball and the robot (or other similar test), it doesn't really matter how close to the partner robot it is. Also note that if it had been against a rule, the Curie refs would have dealt with it promptly by either removing the ball or applying technical fouls.
