Accidents happen. If called for incidental contact, it's a one point penalty. I'm sure they stopped more than one point from being scored.

If I didn't want to get stuck in a goal, I wouldn't build a robot that could get stuck in a goal. I don't see how this is an issue. Looks like smart play to me. Can someone cite a portion of the rules that proves me wrong?
