You are certainly entering a gray area. While that rule is listed under robot-robot interactions, where does that say that the strategy involves robot-robot contact?

To simplify the statement:
A strategy aimed at inhibition of a robot via damage of a robot is not allowed.

The rule talks about the "Strategy" not "Contact". If you go out onto the field match after match and plunk the robot behind you with the ball, I think it's safe to say the referees would take issue with that.

But hey, if you want to roll those dice, that's up to you.
