Actually, it is the other way around as it is illegal to intentionally reach into the other robots frame perimeter. I posted a much longer reply here in this thread concerning your statement. And I found the rule concerning extensions past your frame perimeter including wheels, after a match starts. Starting config. rules are different though.

G18 ROBOTS may not extend more than 15 in. beyond their FRAME PERIMETER. Violation: FOUL. If repeated, offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

**And NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE....It is just a wee bit more difficult to acheive, as can certainly be seen by that flipping the hanging robot gif.
