Also, I know all about the defensive history. That's why I chose you in 2013.
G43 is pretty clear. If your bumpers are in the outerworks, you are considered to be transversing. You can use an appendage to force a blocking robot back. You cannot use an appendage to get yourself closer to goal while being protected by being in the outer works. Although the defensive robot being that close to a robot in the outer works is risky business.
