Speaking as one of the many many loophole finders that plague the GDC every single season.... Dave's proposed rule change is going to cause more problems and is probably just going to be exploited by teams that could take advantage of it. I can think of a few teams that would benefit from redoes by whipping out an extension behind their robot so they have about 5 feet of wiggle room.

Honestly, if you really really absolutely hated this rule, just switch it from an instant penalty to a timed penalty like the endzone encroachment last year. You get a fair warning but still have leeway to sneak a bumper across th plane by accident.
