Ubertubes in starting configuration

Unless i misunderstood the rule, yesterday's Team Update would make this strategy illegal under <G32>

<G32> Neither ROBOTS, HOSTBOTS, nor MINIBOTS may break the planes of the vertically projected borders of the opponent’s ZONES, including a GAME PIECE in their POSSESSION. Momentary incursions by a POSSESSED GAME PIECE will not be penalized if they do not make contact with anything in the ZONE.

The update to <G32> in Team Update 4 specifically refers to POSSESSION of a game piece in the opposong Alliance ZONE. HERDING the game piece into the opposing Alliance LANE should not be a problem.
