I am not sure why this is the case as the goal is actually more dangerous to people trying to retrieve balls than a robot because it is sticking inside quite a bit further...
I wonder whether if we had touched it ..and pushed it out, whether we would have been penalized ??? It would seem that if it is not dangerous for someone to intentionally push it inside our goal area then it is equally not dangerous for us to push it back out...

just wondering

thanks

<G09> Team members may not extend any part of their bodies into any part of the playing field. Violating this rule will result in the disabling of the team’s ROBOT and the team will be disqualified.

<G28> If any part of a robot is in a Ball Corral (breaks the vertical plane of the diamond plate of the Wall), a referee will throw a 10-point penalty flag. The robot operator and the human player have a shared responsibility to avoid contact. If a team member touches the offending robot, that teams' robot will be disabled. If a robot pushes another robot to break the plane, the pushing robot will be assessed the penalty. If a human player touches a robot that has been pushed into the Ball Corral, the pushing robot and the pushed robot will be disabled.

<G29> If a human player touches a mobile goal that has been pushed into the Ball Corral, his / her team will be assessed a 10-point penalty for each occurrence.
