Actually the highest penalty is pinning as stated in rule G50...
<G32> Neither ROBOTS, HOSTBOTS, nor MINIBOTS may break the planes of the vertically projected borders of the opponent’s ZONES. Violation: PENALTY
<G50> A ROBOT may not pin another ROBOT that is in contact with a field border or TOWER for more than 5 seconds. A ROBOT will be considered pinned until the ROBOTS have separated by at least 6 feet. The pinning ROBOT(S) must then wait for at least 3 seconds before attempting to pin the same ROBOT again. Violation: 10 PENALTIES
I would be willing to bet that the GDC had noted the difficulty of scoring on the middle row, and considered it a positive as it will make you think about various ways to move around the field using sensors and other optical aids such as your camera. The question is, how effective will those aids be during a tele operated period? It should be very interesting to see how it pans out.
Good luck with the camera, its a good start!
