The zone is part of the field. Detaching a part within the zone is included when <G40> states that detachment is not allowed.

I can't find the rule, but isn't it illegal for coaches to communicate with people outside of the alliance players/drivers? This wouldn't be allowed because the referee can't be sure the coach isn't using it for communication.

The rules define ROW in 7.2.1:

ROW: a set of SPIDER LEGS that are SCORED for the same ALLIANCE and are adjacent and
aligned either vertically or horizontally.

If 8 and 1 are both scored at the same level, they meet the only conditions needed to be scored as a row (legs are adjacent).
