I'm not so sure I agree, because this allows teams to go as far back as they want without penalty, with a fast robot this can mean acquiring a ball that would have been lost, which does effect the outcome of the game. I would say that a possible combination of the two might be better. What Dave suggested plus a time:

Once a team has completely passed over the lane divider, they can not go fully past the line or break the lane divider plane for more than 5 seconds, this prevents ball chasing (keeping the rules intent), and gives more maneuvering room.
