Even though the robot is designed to be climbed, I don't think there's a way around the "deliberate" wording there. Unless there's a rule change, it seems to me that you would only be able to ramp up allied robots.
Still very useful for your alliance bridge, but maybe not as helpful as I'd originally hoped for getting the coopertition bonus in qualifications.

If you're the robot presented with the opportunity to climb 179, and the choice is between winning with no bonus (2 QP for you/0 QP for opponent), and losing (because of the +9 penalty) with a bonus for two co-operatively balanced robots (2 QP for you/4 QP for opponent), shouldn't you still consider doing the latter, if it skews the rankings in your favour (e.g. by stacking the draft order such that certain alliances are broken up)? Isn't it only really a bad idea if your rank relative to your opponent is an issue, or you determine that you can't risk a card (now or the next time you try it)?
(I'm glossing over several other cases that might be worth considering.)
