Get away and see if they fall or get back on the wheels.

What would you do...
Just get away and see how their robot lands. At UCF, an opponent team (who tipped 2-3 times at the regional, and who I wasn't exactly fond of for reasons I won't discuss) mounted the back corner of my team's robot to the point where they were resting only on my our bumper and their bumper, and I could've easily backed up and knocked them down, but instead, it was easier to just drive forwards, get off of them, and let their COG decide their fate.
