Breaking the finish line plane

[Vanquish]

As we hurdle the ball, the robot is bound to go onto the finish line, judging by the arena, the finish line is quite wide, if the robot is on it and not fully over it and backs up will we still loose 10 points, or is it only if the robot is fully over the line, breaking the plane, and the backs up over the line?

If your robot has not crossed (by the definition in Section 7.2, that means all the way over), you cannot be penalized for breaking the plane of the line going clockwise. If the robot has fully crossed, and you break the plane again, you lose 10 points. The plane is also the far side of the line from your player station, where the marked Overpass pipe is.
