That would be against the pinning rules. Bad form! Bad form!

But heck, I'd love to see it attempted, if the rules are followed - it would provide valuable intel about that robot's drivetrain capabilities compared to the defender's. I like fewer surprises come qualifying time. And I'm sure the bored to death scouters sitting in the stands on Thursday would enjoy the friendly melee and the additional information it provided.
