Re: How does descoring work?

So the rules state that

<G36> HOME STRETCH Height Restriction – ROBOTS in the HOME STRETCH of the opposing ALLIANCE can not be more than 6 feet tall. A PENALTY will be assigned for each infraction.

In the video of the HUMAN PLAYERS, the blue alliance was passing a ball over the lane divider. Though the lane divider is 6ft tall, stretching to get the ball over the top seems to be pushing it. Is that okay to do? Just sit there and wait for a ball to come your way?
On that note, I know there have been six zillion threads on this, but it has been decided that pushing a Trackball off of the other side of the overhand during any mode would be considered illegal, correct?
