Recognizing that IRI is not an official event and has it's own set of rules, but you recall correctly. Also Team 1 Juggernauts were called for their arm being extended outside the box after they fell over.

In this year's rules it is written that a robot cannot cause another robot to
be penalized. So in my opinion if one robot knocks another over and that robot is now outside the mythical cylinder, there should be no penalty.
