Necessary Action

I hardly think that pinning a robot would be considered a necessary action, and yet the rules explicitly allow for robot pinning.

I also believe a case could very easily be made for moving a robot from one side of the field to the other.

I will find it interesting how judges will define malicious intent if one robot rams another with the intent of pinning or moving them. And if the intent is not to pin or move them, I will find it even more interesting how the judges decide what the intent actually was and whether it was malicious.
