My thought would be change the rule to say that some part of the 28x38 base must extend over the triangle to be "in" the loading zone, but the robot need not touch the triangle. The referees would have to make calls, but a team would know that if they are straddling the triangle with its point a foot under the robot, they will not get a penalty. If, on the other hand, you drive up with only 2mm of triangle under the robot, you do so at a high risk of receiving a penalty.
