I would agree if it was egregious ramming. But I think if you look at this clip you will see that it was pretty mild interaction that caused the opponent to catch on the pendulum and flick the cube out when it pulled back.

If this type of interaction is to be penalized with 50 point hits then we may as well coat the robots in bubble wrap.
