DQ1 An alliance may not gain points by breaking a rule, even accidentally.
The penalty for gaining points by breaking a rule is disqualification. The refs at St Louis did not enforce this, but I think we should expect that the refs at Houston will.

The refs in New Hampshire did enforece this rule in at least two matches that I saw, and announced that they would do so at the driver meeting.

The refs in NH announced at the driver meeting that no part of the human player or their bins could touch the grey zone, but I never saw a case where a human player was DQ'd for just touching the grey area.
