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?
As long as the front (back?) surface of the robot is straight, it shouldn't be pushed into the goal. The hole is only 11" tall.
