Seeing as the bumper rules are written so bumpers can interlock fairly easily, I think this will happen more than you think.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a clarification from the GDC stipulating attaching to your partners to be legal. My reasoning is that in that rule the only non-destructive/non-damaging verbage is "attach". Why would you want to damage your teammate? This indicates to me that the GDC is referring to interactions with the opposing alliance.

Of course as the rule is written at the moment, my assumptions are not true. I would bet that upon clarification, the GDC may revise that rule.
