If someone gets an answer this week it would be good of you to post.

In the Q/A, and I know I posted it somewhere, there IS a penalty defined for a robot going past the 3".. I specifically asked that in a Q/A because the G21 didn't specify, and while they say Q/A aren't "official", they did say they can be used to make decision. Some may not accept any Q/A as official ruling until they make an update, but the penalty is a DQ for going past approximately 3".
The Q/A also showed that no matter how you got in the goal past 3" (pushed or by yourself), you are DQ'd. The decision the refs make is whether or not it went past 3" or caused a safety issue. The penalty amount is not the refs decision.
