Actually it would make it harder for the refs to see. Call the home stretch Quadrant 1, followed by Quadrant 2, Q3 (the other home stretch) and Q4. The ref who calls the lane marker crossing penalties is the one in Q2. She can clearly see that the robot has completely exited Q2 and entered Q3, and then breaks the plane back into Q2. If the requirement were that the robot had to completely cross back into Q2 before the penalty would be called, she wouldn't be able to tell if it was completely over the line because the robot itself would be obscuring her vision of the line.
