You're thinking of the case where a robot has gone over, where they have 10 seconds where opponents can't touch them. (G30)

3.2.6.4 G30
Fallen (i.e. tipped over) ROBOTS attempting to right themselves (either by themselves or with assistance from an
ALLIANCE partner) have one (1) ten (10)-second grace period per fallen ROBOT in which the fallen ROBOT may not
be contacted by an opposing ROBOT.
This protection lasts for either ten (10) seconds or until the protected ROBOT has completed the righting operation,
whichever comes first.
So logically if I could swing my frame (including my bumpers) into the right position relative to the rest of the robot, then in theory, I have violated the rules unless there is a rule against intentionally tipping over.
