Yes this is well established and even demonstrated in the Kickoff video. But it requires relying on another team to work with you. I've experienced matches where the other 2 robots on my team are disabled on the field (or stuck, or flipped over, etc).
The same can effectively be said about the other obstacles -- another robot could just push you over the debris field/moat/rock wall from behind, but that's not what we're trying to solve here.
