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.
In this certain match, neither robot was given a penalty and game play continued on as normal.
