If done intentionally, it is most definitely wrong. Now, if you simply ram a robot to push them out of the way, off the top, or whatever, and they fall over, noone is going to DQ you. If you shove an arm or wedge or something under another robot and lift up, and they fall over, you'll probably get DQed.

what about once they are over pushing against them to prevent them from being righted?

Actually ya, we think the suction cup ripped when it was dragged across the carpet, however, we do think you ripped one of our wheelie bars off, and it is 1/4 aluminum plate :) It's all part of the game though. :cool:

Distasteful, and against Gracious Professionalism, but I don't think it's prohibited. As long as you don't break the pinning rule, I don't think they could call anything on you. The referees might be more likely to call you for tipping if you did this, though. If you kept a team from getting up, it would seem a lot more intentional than if you left them in place (or helped them back up).
