That part of the hit was legal, but that rule is meant to apply to offensive robots shoving balls into the goal. The parts that aren't legal are that the hits were made with the intention of entangling and tipping over the robot, and for not allowing a 10 second grace period for the tipped over robot. Those parts are illegal, and should have resulted in a yellow card or a red card.
