It's probably too late to fix it, but it probably should have been a penalty to completely go back over a line, as opposed to having a small portion of your bot cross the line.

I've even seen penalties where a team veers off into the central rail during autonomous and has a small corner of their bot cross the line when they get stuck on the central rail.
How about reading Update 15? If there's a stopped robot, and you can't get around them without penalty, signal to pass. They have 6 seconds to clear. If they don't, they get a penalty.

Oh, and Q&A already covered the hybrid veer. It's a penalty, and has been since at least mid-build.
