Seems unlikely given the overall time frame. At best you're probably looking at a penalty for extending when not in contact with the tower. (That would be *in addition* to a white line penalty, if any).

I don't know exactly what 469 is doing, but I'd be shocked if any deflecting would cause their robot to cross the white line. I'm willing to bet that 469 uses an encoder based navigation system so their robot always knows where it is on the field, Since it knows where it is, it knows not to cross the white line.
