Well there is a rule about not aiming to damage other robots, and even though its a good idea, they might call you for rolling a bowling ball down the ramp just to hit another robot. Here's the rule
2.4.5 <G8> In the FTC game Manual says "Strategies and mechanisms aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or entanglement of Robots are not in the spirit of the FIRST Tech Challenge and are not allowed. However, Bowled Over! is a highly interactive contact game. Some tipping, entanglement, and damage may occur as a part of normal game play. If the tipping, entanglement, or damage is ruled to be deliberate, the offending team may be Disqualified for that Match. Repeated offenses could result in a team being Disqualified from the remainder of the competition."
