The entire key is HDPE. The semicircular velcroed HDPE area is the key. This does not include the rectangular carpet area outlined by the "purely for decoration" tape.

The key in basketball is generally the entire painted area under the basket. The semi-circle is commonly called the "top of the key". My point here is that if they plan to park on the key and extend, all an opponent has to do is drive into them and they would incur a technical foul.

depends, rules G28 and G44 together protect robots in the key and alleys but G45 protects robots from others trying to intentionally incur a penalty
