Re: ball corral block, good or bad?

I just panicked and checked the rules, but I don't see anything at all about a robot being disabled for a HP touching a goal. I see two rules:
Quote:
<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.
Quote:
<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.
So I don't see anything about a robot being disabled for an HP touching the goal. The goal isn't another robot, and the goal isn't an extension of the pushing or grabbing robot, so I don't see how this would be. Has anyone encountered this ruling at a regional or anything?
