It would result in chaos.

Some are missing the whole point - teams do not "enforce the rules", teams play by them. The referees "enforce the rules" and (in my humble opinion) they will be reasonable and apply common sense. If the intent were for the opponents robot not to enter the key area, just doing so would be a penalty and it is not (that I can find).
Back to my previous post.

If a robot is in a position to block my shot, I have every right to push and shove that robot so they are not in a position to block my shot (just like they have a right to agitate my robot to make it difficult to shoot). However, if during that pushing and shoving my robot is in the key, then the penalty is on the defender. If the defender doesn't want that penalty, then stay away from the key .
