Is there an exception to the rule that says that you cannot have two robots in an opponent's zone? No? Sorry, but it's a penalty and/or a red card. The 10-second grace period only applies to opposing contact, not to penalties.

However, note that the penalty is given when you touch the green carpet and that under <G30-B>, you can take on your finale configuration. That means that if they are close enough, you may be able to reach over the bump and pick them up. Only problem is, getting them that close without violation of <G29>.

You could ask Q&A, but I think the answer will still be "No."

There is, however, one note: your opponents are, as far as I can tell, allowed to try to right the downed robot for you. That may work to your advantage in that they might get the robot upright or out to within your range to right.
