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.

Fun fact, this rule exists because back in the day the a team went around tipping everyone else
(At that time FIRST considered itself a full contact sport). So yes, it is definitely against the rules.
