While I doubt it's legal, I'm not positive either way. In any case, it doesn't exactly mesh with Gracious Professionalism...

And just remember: do unto others as you would have them do to you. Do you really want your robot to be on the receiving end of that treatment?
In 2000, if you were on the bar (in my experiences) anything goes.
I imagine it will be the same this year.

By the way:
I don't see Gracious Professionalism as meaning "don't play hard".
Build your robot robust, as it will likely take a few hits, whether you want it to or not.
