Re: Should this have been allowed?

This is the only rule governing the situation and it only talks about scoring on a opponents peg or descoring, nothing about the feeder interfering with the act of scoring.

G39> ROBOTS and FEEDERS may not SCORE on their opponent's PEGS or descore their opponent‟s GAME PIECES, or interfere with their opponent‟s TOWERS. Violation: PENALTY plus RED CARD.

I would bet that if the GDC is made aware of teams intentionally interfering with a robot in the act of scoring they would make it a penalty.
