There were no penalties for interference as such in 1999, to my recollection.

Yes, there was exactly one penalty for interference in 1999: disabling of the robot. While it wasn't called frequently, it was on the books. There also was a three foot interaction zone between the human player and the actual playing field. The robot could stick into that area but not into the rest of the human player area.
