So it's legal to be outside the HZ as long as the supported bots are entirely in the HZ.

So while the bonus points for the supported robot count, wouldn't the ramp robot who is outside the HZ collect penalty violations as well (if they are >72" - from what I have seen, any sort of action by such a robot that breaks the plane of the HZ has been flagged with a penalty)? It doesn't say in that Q&A response that it was legal for robots to be outside the HZ, just that the bonus points for the robots being supported count...
