You know, I believe you're right. If only the 2x ball crossed the wall plane, I don't think we should have gotten a penalty (2 actually). And, even if our robot was pushed so that we crossed the wall plane, the pushing robot should have gotten the penalty. We would have lost that match anyways by 10pts, even without 3 penalties against our alliance.
We also had a match where we were disabled due to the 2x ball in our arm touching the floor outside the field. Although the ref told us that was the reason we were disabled, I'm not sure that's right (2x not being part of our robot in that case). However, it probably would have been deemed unsafe anyways even though we probably could have gotten ourselves back up....
Oh well!! Life goes on...
Edit - Found out we actually did touch the carpet with our robot arm, but it was also a safety concern for the volunteer crew sitting right there.
