I think FIRST's rule clearly says that the only time you may legally extend outside the field during autonomous is when your extension is within the frame...

no! it doesnt say that!
it says you get the penalty ONLY if you get the release ball that way.
other wise if someones auton mode went off a little, and poked at the ball outside the bars, then they would get a 25 point penalty
but its ok for your bot to extend outside the field borders in driver mode as long as you dont touch the floor, or reach into the drivers area
so why would you incurred a 25 point penalty for doing that in auton mode?
that would be unnecessarily strict and would be a double strike against a team whos auton missed the ball by a few feet - the balls dont fall AND they get a 25 point penalty!
