Yes, I realize most quals matches will be two of three robots trying to function, but higher performance teams will be asking their lower performing teams to play defense. And unlike past years, there is no protected zone for those defenders to mess up with.
There are three "protected zones" all bots should avoid:

In auto the opponents Launchpad area, in tele-op their "Retrival Zone" and end of game "Rope touch" is protected no touch zone. Boiler Key is a simple no parking more than 4.5sec zone if seen by a ref....a ref emphasis zone most likely.
