I'd agree.

<G04> If a ROBOT goes out-of-bounds (outside the playing field) to the point where it has to apply force to any out-of-bounds surface to rejoin play, its control system will be disabled and the ROBOT will be disabled. For purposes of this rule, the BONUS BALLS and BALL TEE are considered part of the playing field.

The carpeted Playing Field is 48 feet by 24 feet, bounded by two Walls and a Guardrail System.

Thus, it seems the ball corral is considered out-of-bounds. Since the robot is on the ground in the corral and must drive on it to get back in, the rules seem to call for disabling the bot.
