All I'm going to say on that is that is going to need to be made very clear that it's an exception to G11. Teams that may be trying that strategy aren't going to be happy, but it's a risk they took.

A strict interpretation of: G26 (only 1 robot may contact it's own Courtyard) and G21 (robot may not contact defending robot) sort of level the playing field.
An offensive robot ins the SP has to stay away from defending robots.
If there are 3 defending robots in the SP waiting to get a boulder, then only one robot at a time can get a boulder, and use the courtyard to go around the other 2 defenders.
Note: If you design your robot right, you can be "over" the SP by about 2+feet, without being in contact with the carpet of the SP for purposes of rule G21.
