Driving Robots under/into the Goals ... allowed?

Hi All,
Just a quick check. It seems that the robots should be able to drive over the bottom tubes of the goals and into the interior of the goal, if needed to stack tetras. The rules have a comment which seems to disallow this:

<G20> ROBOTS may push or react against any elements of the field, provided there is no damage or disruption of the field elements. ROBOTS may not grab, grasp, grapple or attach to the GOALS or any other field structure. Robots may not extend under, lift up or tip over a GOAL. If a ROBOT violates this rule, the referee will give one warning. If the referee determines that the team is disregarding the warning, or the actions affect the outcome of the match, the team’s ROBOT will be disabled for the remainder of the match.
If a GOAL is tipped over, it is automatically OWNED by the opposing alliance for the remainder of the match.

It's the "Robots may not extend under" part that concerns me. My guess is that they mean under the bottom tubes of the goal, but that is an interpretation. What is the community concensus?
Thanx, erniep
