It should be in the manual somewhere.

I don't think it is explicitly prohibited, but a relevant rule could be G14

Actions A-D do not apply to ROBOT interactions with the PYRAMID.
Just make sure that you don't become entangled in or damage the goal. I would submit this to Q&A though if this is a serious part of your design.

Edit: It may be considered "exiting the field" in which case your robot would be disabled. I would submit this to the Q&A if you are thinking of integrating that idea into your design.
