I put in Q862 last night in regard to this issue.

My concern is that if enforced in the way described we've created an impassible defense strategy, because the risk of ending up on top of another robot and being yellow carded for it is too high. Yes, they will be penalized under G43 at one foul per 5 seconds, but a situation could exist where you trade 20 points in penalties for 2 ranking points.

If the defense action happens with the defending robot entirely within the outerworks and the defense being defended is the last defense that offensive alliance needs to cross for a breach and the offensive robot is prevented from reaching the batter to complete a capture. G28 doesn't apply if the defending robot is entirely within the outerworks and not in contact with the carpet of their courtyard.
