The question now becomes, were the referees assuming that using that area to shoot nullifies the traverse attempt? I could see that being the case, the way G43 is written. But I don't want to try to get into the refs' heads on that, so I'll stop there.
True. I didn't answer the previous question.

I think stopping and shooting would nullify the traverse attempt. Because to traverse means to move, pass, or go across. Say a robot is crossing a defense and stops with their bumpers hovering over the outerworks and then they shoot after they stop moving. Since they have stopped moving wouldn't it nullify it?

I'm not a 100% sure this is the best reasoning though.
