Hmm.. can you say loophole? lol Looks like since someone else pushed them into the goal, they were not assessed the penalty? Or.. who was assessed the penalty? The robot being pushed into the goal, or the robot pushing the robot into the goal.

I would penalize the robot pushing the other team into the goal for the simple fact that if red is being pushed into a red goal by a blue bot, the driver for the blue bot is at maximum 20 feet away from the robot behind the player's station wall and knows exactly what they are doing, and should be penalized in the name of a safety violation.

If they were across the field, and pushing, then it would be hard for them to see what they were doing and I would hesitate to give anyone a penalty.
