Because Volunteers are highly trained skilled acrobats ...
1) Only Students are carrying a heavy robot. It is easier to make a rule that Students follow all the time.
2) Volunteers are doing it every match. They know when a defense has not been secured, and unsafe to step on (cross). Other stuff to watch out for on and off the field. It is easier to tell the students: "wait for the open gate".
The real reason: It is a perk they give the Volunteers as an incentive to volunteer.
