Honestly, I would either have to go with triangular or circular, because then it deflects the force of any oncoming robots better.

If you're aiming to build a robot that pushes other robots, however, rectangular would be better (possibly with a wedge) so you can direct your force over a very large area.

While form typically follows function, in the case of robots, form can determine function.
