I haven't heard anything on the legality of this action, but I could see where both sides could have their arguement. I.E. - It should be legal for this purpose; It was an amazing defense move that messed us up for a little bit. It should be illegal because there are some robots out there that may not have the durability that our bot had and could break.

I suppose its up to the refs at each competition. I really hate to side with the side that capped my robot, but I do recall Dave Lavery saying make sure your bot could take a hit with a yellow ball. Don't worry though, our drivers know how to handle it now--preventing the ball from going in, and getting it out if it does.
