Re: Is this Legal?

G18-1
Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FRC and are not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in assessment of a penalty on the target ALLIANCE .

Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL
100% illegal.
Teams have used strategies against this rule (this rule has been in every manual as far as I remember) and have not been penalized, but these strategies were generally staying at a safe zone and "accidentally" bumping into opposing robots as they pass by, and were due to other strategies failing and were not designed for. If you design your robot to throw frisbees at opposing robots, you will probably be penalized.
Also, while a strategy like this might get you high up the ranking board, but it will not earn you the respect of other teams around you. I suggest trying something else.
