Once our robot delivers its bugs or food into the CA, can the robot arm break the imaginary CA wall boundaries during its retreat back to the field?

the rules say that you cannot pass those lines, so if you do, it is up to the head-judges discretion. He may or may not penalize the team. but the rules say you are not to pass those boundaries at any time.

With all due respect, the rules strictly say that no food or insects may ever cross the boundaries and that the robot may not cross the boundary with the intent of placing insects or food in the CA.
My question is related to an empty robot retreating from the CA, i.e, no food or insects crosses the boundaries and our intent is not to place insects or food, but simply to exit the CA.
Could we get clarification on the 6.2 rule for this instance?

That is a puzzling scenario you present. I definitely see your point.
I will check on that with the officials at Best, Inc. and get back to you.
Thank you for your work with MSBEST! We do appreciate your support.

I sent in a question days ago, but haven't received a response.
I am sending in another one.

If you could go view the official BEST Q&A, you can see where I asked your question and they posted a response.
Hope that helps!
Sincerely,
