I've been mulling basically the same thing....
We have a decent drive train and a pretty strong "grabbing" device... I could picture us grabbing a recycling bin off the step at about the same time (or just after?) a rather top-heavy robot on the other side and dragging both the recycling bin and the other robot over... Would we be penalized for this? Would they?
I think this will largely be in the judgement of the referees. In 2013 (insert the usual caveat about applying different years rules.) robots were penalized for "tripping" robots with high center of gravity. So if it seen that your robot & drivers actively pulling another robot over even if you were primarily going after a game piece, I would expect you to get penalize. But I have consistently proven I cannot predict the GDC or the referees.
