Correct. However, as noted, G16G requires robots not to damage the field--and gives the appropriate parties the authority to require robots that do to go get fixed. There are some teams that will note that an otherwise-legal robot damaged the field, and the Head Referee sent them back to the LRI with a message of "Fix This". It happens.

If you can't go over the scoring platforms, that is a design choice you made. If you damage them in an attempt to go over them, that is a rules problem... which can be fixed either by you not attempting to go over the platforms or by fixing the robot.
