Everyone does it, so we might as well expect it, but it is a definant gray area in the rules.

It's not a gray area. I have seen an alliance red carded b/c one member purposely caused a member of opposing alliance to repeatedly foul. To fight and strategize so that opponents are forced into bad decisions so they might foul, no problem. But to purposely intend multiple fouls, red card. In the red card match I refer to robot 1 contacted robot 2 in an illegal area, giving robot 1 a foul. But then robot 2 purposely continued to contact robot 1 to cause more fouls. Robot 2 and their alliance were red carded.
