I think that lobbing balls at an oppnent's robot to stop/tip/damage them, is not in the spirit of FIRST. Also, where do you draw the line between throwing a ball to stop them and trying to damage the opponent's robot? You could throw it to stop them but accidently hit their controls and damage them, unintentionally. I think it would be hard to distinguish between trying to damage them and just trying to stop them. I think it's too big of a risk for an alliance to take - Just my $.02
Also, as Jan pointed out earlier, "Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over or entanglement of robots are not in the spirit of the FIRST Robotics Competition and are not allowed... If a breach of this rule occurs, the alliance will be disqualified for that match".
So I would go with no...
