Can you go in the opposing alliance's alley?

Intentionally hitting opponents sitting in an alley isn't an exploitation of G44, and thus wouldn't count as a G45 infraction. Hitting the opposing robot is an inevitability if they just sit in the infraction zone, and isn't a strategy for gaining free points, using the terminology in the rule.

G45, IMO, is primarily a repeat of last years rule modification, whereas a viable strategy for winning due to the super easy red card penalties is just push opposing robots into your tower/robots in contact with the tower during the end game. Thus, this rule is probably meant to be applied to situations where robots intentionally push the other team into infractions, rather than them knowingly making infractions easily possible.
