Emphasis mine. However, there is no rule against throwing ringers at an opponents gripper in an attempt to knock the tube out of it. I've seen that work.
Oh, my mistake, I didn't realize that. The one time I saw a ringer get thrown onto a robot, that robot then did not pick another one up....but now that I think about it, the match was almost over and they were going to their alliance's ramp.
