2. The rules talk about the zone area and not the zone volume.
3. No mention of an imaginary vertical plane which is language used in previous games.
I agree with you that you can go over, but that's only useful for grabbing the bins at the beginning. It's not like you're going to run an effective defense game with a bar extending 3 feet away from your bot over the step.
