Finally if an opposing robot decides to push, ram, or otherwise rip the robot in question off the goal while that robot is engaging in a descoring maneuver that involves reaching into the goal, this both poses a risk to the descoring bot and the field.

No, this is an incorrect assessment. The Blue Robot put itself in a position where damage could occur, thus they are responsible for any damage that is caused as a result of their interaction with the field.
I would ask you to reconsider or reword this ruling. Under this ruling it is possible for a red robot to cause a blue robot to be disqualified while the blue robot is performing a legal action. I feel this ruling violates the spirit of fair play that SG11 is trying to instill.

Any robot which reaches into a Goal will be responsible for any damage that may occur to the Goal. Teams should design their robots accordingly.
So be it, we will design and play accordingly. Thank you for answering quickly.
