Re: Are you considered in the homestretch if?

I keep seeing people saying that knocking the ball backward after crossing the finish line will be a 10 pt. penalty for moving clockwise. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we putting a 40 " diameter ball in a 32" diameter hole? Doesn't that give you 4 " to work with? This would be twice the vertical distance that could be worked with if the robot is in the opponent's home stretch.
