Specifically, a technical foul & yellow card per G26.
Quote:
Strategies aimed at the destruction or inhibition of Robots via attachment, damage, tipping or entanglement of Robots are not in the spirit of the FRC and are not allowed.
Violation: Technical-Foul plus Yellow Card

Unless the robot itself can re-right itself (if a robot could use its bridge tipper, for instance, to do so) or another robot can help it regain its position, the robot's staying down. Per G30, there is a 10 second grace period following the tip where the opponent isn't allowed to interfere with you.
Quote:
Fallen (i.e. tipped over) Robots attempting to right themselves (either by themselves or with assistance from an Alliance partner) have one 10-second grace period per fallen Robot in which they may not be contacted by an opposing Robot. This protection lasts for either 10 seconds or until the protected Robots have completed the righting operation, whichever comes first.
Violation: Foul for inadvertent contact; Technical-Foul for obviously intentional contact.

Also take note of G24, which bans intentionally tipping over your own robot.
