Justin,
I don't remember any time in the past where it was acceptable to intentionally tip another robot. If not officially frowned upon it has been a hazard for humans near the playing field and for field pieces and therefore has not been allowed. There are other competitions where the field is enclosed. In that competition tipping is OK and encouraged.
I
am in the audience and I do not like to see robots go down.
