Note the word
should in the below quote. If it was a must like in codes and standards the would have used the word
shall or must. This allows you to have an angled deployed device
AT YOUR OWN RISK of penalty.

push against another robot must be within 10 degrees of vertical. Devices deployed outside the robot's
footprint should be designed to avoid wedging. If a mechanism or an appendage (a ball harvester, for
example) becomes a wedge that interferes with other robots, penalties, disabling, or disqualification can occur
depending on the severity of the infraction.
