Bad choice. Hitting the E-stop for a non-safety hazard (robot tips over) would likely result in a technical foul.
In seasons past, this would have been acceptable. The rule changed last year I believe, and continued into this year.

[G35]
If a Robot becomes unsafe (e.g. the Robot begins to smoke, the battery falls out, etc.) it may be disabled for the remainder of the Match by any player by pressing the E-Stop button. The E-Stop buttons are intended for remote shutdown in the event of safety hazards and will not otherwise affect Match score or duration.
Violation: Technical-Foul if used for any other reason.
