<G29> Robots in opposing zones.

<G29> Defending ROBOT Restriction - Only one opposing ALLIANCE ROBOT is allowed in the opponent’s ZONE. A ROBOT is considered in this ZONE if any part of the ROBOT is in contact with the ZONE's green carpet. Violation: PENALTY; plus a RED CARD if effort to remedy is not immediate.



Obviously two or more robots of the same alliance can be in their zone at the same time.

This makes it very hard to keep the opposing alliance from scoring with your single robot when two of the opposing team come in the same zone.

What are your thoughts? what kind of strategy could combat this?

On the flip-side,
If an alliance brings two robots in their zone it would leave the other team the opportunity to make the situation the same on the opposing teams side, therefore balancing it out...

Also whichever team does that first, assuming they move the second robot from the middle zone to their scoring zone, leaves the opposing team in control of the ball returns...
