Well if you start 60 inches tall or less and have no appendages outside the perimeter of the frame would it still be an issue with R01? The only other possible rule violation I found is [G07]

[G07]
If at any time a Robot’s operation or design is deemed unsafe, the Robot will be disabled for the remainder of the Match. If the safety violation is due to the Robot design, the Head Referee has the option to not allow the Robot back onto the Court until the design has been corrected.
Violation: Foul and disablement
An example of unsafe operation would be uncontrolled motion that cannot be stopped by the Drivers.

So the only concern I could think of is that it is unsafe to blindly be driving your robot on the field. Since the actions are fully intentional, it would have to cause an unsafe situation on the field.
If I missed a rule that does indeed clearly prevent this idea, please point it out. I can't find anything else in particular but it would be great for future reference. Not to mention I'd never see this idea
