No,change it because the rules currently allow an "exploit" that gives certain bot designs an unfair advantage to a degree that effectively undermines the possibility for matches to remain competitive.
What was the purpose of disallowing robots from expanding at opponent's tower? What benefit to the game's competition level does this give?
Why should there be ANY LOCATION on or above the field that NOT EVEN A SINGLE ROBOT from an opposing team can access without a penalty. The fact that this forbidden zone is at such a ball controlling critical spot makes it essential that the No Expand at opponents tower rule be rescinded. Then we will see some FAIR competition for the control of balls at this critical location.
