Yes, but it will be obvious to refs which bot did the ramming. The sensor would be there to verify the call.

Yes; this strategy might not work just because of that. A penalty should not be called just because the sensor went off--some discretion would be needed, but less than what is needed now.

Yes, but the refs would see that; like I said the penalty should not be called just because the sensor went off.
Maybe it isn't the most solid idea, on second thought...but maybe.
