Re: Punch a robot

G28
Deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT on or inside its FRAME PERIMETER is not allowed.

Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL
Also: the blue box below G28:

A ROBOT with an element outside its FRAME PERIMETER may be penalized under this rule if it appears they are using that element to purposefully contact another ROBOT inside its FRAME PERIMETER. Regardless of intent, a ROBOT with an element outside its FRAME PERIMETER that causes damage to another ROBOT inside of its FRAME PERIMETER will be penalized.
So, what I draw from this is that you can hit their bumpers, and that's about it. Once it hits them inside the bumper (therefore their robot perimeter) it's a foul.
So technically you could, but I don't see what hitting their bumpers would do to your advantage.
