<G37> ROBOT to ROBOT Interaction
f. Contact with a tilted ROBOT outside the BUMPER ZONE (particularly if resulting from contact within the BUMPER ZONE) will generally be considered incidental contact.
What I'm getting from this is that if M. Krass's proposed robot did tip for whatever reason, we could gently nudge it out of the way as much as we could, I don't know if you'd be able to help it up again, but gently pushing it to the side appears to be allowed without penalty.

I'm not saying that this rule allows you to continue racing, getting off scott-free if you tore through the toppled robot, but it looks like FIRST knows that a toppled robot is a major hazard to a game like Overdrive.
