Definitely not true. One match specifically in Los Angeles, I, knowingly got the ten point penalty to knock a trackball off the overpass -backwards-, with there not being enough time to do a full lap. The only way our robot can do this is if it drives over the line a little, sadly. However it gave us a two point swing.. not nearly enough to win us that match (against 330! ) But it was two points none the less.
