Lol, I also completely forgot 40 was in that match.

We pushed a robot both unintentionally and "intentionally" (at the same time) 6 times into a goal during the 2010 season.
We got jabbed on CD, especially at the Hawaii regional that year.

IMO, it was legal.

Our robot had one of the worst gate latch bungee shooters that year. i.e. it sucked. We spent 90% of the time pushing balls into the goals.
If you played defense on us, we still tried to push the balls into the goals regardless if you were in the way or not. On several of them, we pushed a robot and the ball into the goal simultaneously.

If a robot is small enough to fit into the low goal, you can be sure that someone is going to stuff them in there at various regional events in the act of trying to score.
