The very last sentence of G26 talks about if a robot prevents a backbot from getting to their position, it won't count against the backbot because they are on their way, intending and trying to get there.
Last year there were a lot of rules and updates about the loading zone infractions, and many of them discussed if the opponent caused the infraction, it would not penalize the other person.
Applaud your reply, and glad to know you aren't planning to use it. It was good of you to bring it to attention for discussion.
Last year was chaos with the loading zone infractions and questions of "did they intend to make you cause a 30pt penalty" etc. This year, if you go over to the dead backbot, and pull him to the other side, it's quite obvious of your intent. I would not consider them exactly the same situations, but relatively the same concept.
