Not exactly. G45 saves the victimbot from this situation:

Strategies exploiting Rule [G44] are not in the spirit of the FRC and are not allowed.
Violation: Technical-Foul and Red Card


So this covers if you're purposely pushing the opposing robot into the alley/bridge so they may occur a penalty. It seems to me like yes, the victimbot will occur a Foul, but the bullybot will get a Technical-Foul and a Red Card for purposely attempting to rack up points by manipulating penalties. Who's the real winner here?

That being said, I bet that greedy robots stealing basketballs from the opposing team's alley will have a massive target on their back from the opposing alliance. That is a justifiable Foul - they weren't forced to enter the lane here.
