G24 states - Strategies aimed at the destruction or inhibition of ROBOTS via attachment, damage, tipping, or entanglements are not allowed.

It seems like it is against the rules, but I am too hopeful to pass up the idea completely.

Someone please clarify, thanks.
if you're pushing another robot and your robot accidentally tipped over, that can work as a "legal" way to flip yourself.
