If this is such an issue then why aren't teams being more careful on the far side of the field? A 10 point ding would make you think twice about making that turn if you aren't sure you're in position. Based on the ongoing penalty totals many of the drivers are not making the necessary adjustments. If your robot can't make a tight turn without crossing back over the plane then it's a limitation of the design and you need to make a wider turn. Instead of calling on the GDC to relax the rules you need to be calling on the drivers to adjust their lines on the turns.
