Erich was so busy "instructing" you on the difference between refs and judges that he missed this.
The rule is

G13. Don’t mess with a ROBOT in their RETRIEVAL ZONE. A ROBOT with any part inside its opponent’s RETRIEVAL ZONE may not contact an opposing ROBOT, regardless of who initiates the contact. Violation: TECH FOUL.

It's not that they can't touch your ROBOT when you are in your RETRIEVAL ZONE. It's that they can't touch you when
their ROBOT is in
your RETRIEVAL ZONE.
And this year's G13 rule is worded similar to rules in the past, that the "he made me do it" rule (C08 this year) doesn't apply. I don't know if that will be the case or not; ref training hasn't begun yet. Be sure to ask in your drivers' meeting.
