Penalties for being pushed?

Another potential situation that is similar is if you're in the opposing alley and there isn't an opposing robot in it. If an opposing robot drives into and pins you there, you incur a penalty.

Let's also say an opposing robot is shooting from their key. They could partially move out of it to contact you as you're driving by, and transitively, you again incur a penalty.

In general, I believe that yes, the GDC IS allowing teams to cause penalties to be assessed on another team this year.

Edit - Just to be clear, simply being in an opposing alley or key is not against the rules. It's only against the rules IF there is an opposing robot in an opposing alley or key with you.
