Lifting a robot has been one of the things that FIRST has been very consistant about.
It is legal and it is allowed. I think they said something about not lifting too high and perhaps there were one or two other qualifiers, but basically it is and has been legal.
I don't expect that you will be too popular with the team you lift if you damage them but I don't think they will have a leg to stand on when to say it is illegal.
If you ended up damaging most robots you lifted I suppose the refs may start looking at you more closely but other than that I think you'd be okay.

P.S. Team 862 got their forks under us in a practice round in Grand Rapids and dragged us a bit. No harm, no foul... ...no big deal.
