I think FIRST is just saying that robots will hit each other and that they usually won't assess penalties. Basically they'll be judging just like they have been in the past, just that they'd prefer if you hit in the bumper zone, which most teams will probably do a good job of adhering to. The tilted part just refers to somebody playing defense on a robot trying to get up a ramp. Their robot is going to be tilted there is no way to get around it so FIRST is saying its okay to having pushing matches even when one robot is on a ramp. Something which I know my team assumed when designing the robot(not that there is a whole lot you can do about it.)
