Re: question about the corner-block rule

I can imagine there will be plenty of bots that camp out in from of a lower goal. It's a pretty good strategy especially for rookie teams that might not have a great ball collector or ball shooter mechanism. I can also imagine that there will be lots of pushing matches with those "camp bots" in front of the lower goals. What happens if a bot trying to score pushes a "camp bot" into the lower goal past the 3" "incidental incursion" limit? If you have bumpers on your bot or a really low bot it might not be very hard to get pushed up into the goal opening past the 3". I am sure FIRST expects there to be lots of pushing matches in front of the lower goals but who gets the penalty points? The bot that broke the plane or the bot trying to score that pushed the defensive bot into the goal?
