What was illegal about it?

I made our robot start in the goalie zone with a ball (big mistake right there) and make it move out of the goalie zone (another mistake).

You realize that the Goalie Zone you can start in is on the opponent's side of the field (immediately in front of your driver station), right?

Otherwise, you start on your side of the TRUSS, within the white zone (the far side from your driver station).

The goals you score in, are on the far side of the field, above/beside the opponents driver station.
