    Default Robots pushed out of end zone while exceding the 72"x72" footprint?

    Imagine the following scenario.

    BLUEABOT remains in it's HOME ZONE, and deploys its robot lifting mechanisms at the start of the match. These devices make its footprint larger than 72"x72". Before the start of the END GAME, REDABOT manuevers into BLUE's HOME ZONE, and pushes BLUEABOT outside of BLUE's HOME ZONE.

    Will BLUEABOT be penalized for exceeding the 72"x72" virtual box?

    A robot cannot be forced into a penalty by a robot of the opposing alliance.

    Therefore, if the blue robot is pushed out of the home zone, they will not be penalized, provided they make every effort to get back into the home zone once released by the red robot. If the blue robot is pushed out of the home zone and then does not immediately return to its home zone, the blue robot will receive the appropriate penalty.
