This is incorrect. There is no limit as to how close to the goals a defending robot can be. Robots are in fact allowed to enter the goals--up to 3"

<G21> ROBOT Incursion into the Corner Goal - Incidental incursion into the corner goal that occurs as a result
of a ROBOT pushing balls into the goal is permitted, not to exceed a distance of approximately 3 inches.
