If you get a three point foul when your opponent drives forward to touch you, the foul was called wrong.

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

A literal interpretation of this rule would mean that sitting in the pyramid, a robot driving forward to "tap" you and then resume shooting, while remaining in contact with the pyramid, would result in a technical foul on the robot that was shooting.
I hate this rule, but it is what it is.
