Is it still a foul if neither of the robots enter the volume of the midline? It looks to me that this rule states you get a double foul if you make transitive contact and are violating G13 by crossing the midline.

If I'm wrong, then I guess the foul would apply to whoever reaches the boulder second. In that case, the defending robot just needs to be confident that they're faster.

Edit: Actually, I might be misunderstanding what "transitive contact" means... I figured it means that if two robots are contacting the same ball, then they are effectively contacting each other
