KEEPER does NOT need to be contained within the ROBOT'S starting volume, however it must be in contact with the ROBOT and be entirely within the HOME ZONE. The head referee will require that KEEPERS that do not meet these criteria be removed from the game. It is the responsibility of the head referee to verify that this rule is satisfied prior to the start of the match.[/]

no penalty. if you dont use a keeper it will be removed, the rule just tells you the correct way to place a keeper if your team decides to use it.
^ my interpretation of the rule
