where did you read about the penalties?

I'd like to clarify a little. Using the keywords "velcro," which is used to secure the center goal, and "move," I searched through "The Arena," "The Game," and "The Robot." However, I found only the following:

"The entire Central Goal is secured to a base that is fixed to the
Playing Field carpet with Velcro to prevent movement."

Personally, I think that FIRST will let you do as you like with all the goals other than the center one. I could not find any rule preventing you from moving the other goals or penalties associated with moving them. If you are still skeptical, then you can always check the rules with FIRST through TIMS.
