StrongHold Pushing Match & T-Boning

In a typical t-bone with both robots having 6 wheel drop center 8" pneumatic chassis. Can the robot who is t-boning push the robot being t-boned?

Has any one tried this will full or partially full tires on one or both bots?

Let's say the robot doing the t-boning is geared at 12.76:1 with 3 cims per gear box, and semi deflated tires. Could it push the other bot easily?
What if the t-boning robot were to weigh more, say around 165 lbs. Would that allow the t-boning robot to push the second bot more easily?

In a head to head pushing match, could the t-boning robot described in the previous question easily push a robot that is not geared as high, has fully inflated wheels and weighs closer to 145 lbs?

We ask because we are waiting on our first set of pneumatic and probably won't have a second bot to test on?

Thanks for your experience.
