To extend upon what John said, the referees will probably determine 'malicious intent' by judging the necessity of the action taken. For example, if your robot rams another to get them out of a robot zone or key position, then that action was necessary and thus justified. However, ramming them, shoving them into a wall, creating several 10 lb pieces of debris, may be considered as an unnecessary action and be penalized. Under most every circumstance, causing carnage and destruction will be deemed unnecessary and be worthy of a penalty. This definition allows most any action to be taken that is in the 'spirit of the game'. That's just my opinion of course.
