You can't (in theory) contact a robot overhanging the outerworks. However, we got hit multiple times while shooting and the defender never got penalized. I wouldn't plan on this being OK. Also, you can't cover the high goal because it's out of the height limit. You could in the last 20 seconds, but it doesn't really serve a purpose.
