If a robot intentionally tips another, they are given a Penalty, ranging up to a DQ.
Also, this discussion may be moot, because the arm robots probably have measures in place already to escape this. I'm pretty sure my team does--we've got two, or can easily have two given about ten minutes in the pits.

My team as well. It wasn't really intentional, but the way we designed our system to fit in the starting configuration means that we will likely be able to just put our arm down and it should fold back up enough to allow us to clear the overpass, then we could jerk the robot forward and back or put the arm back up to unfold it again.
