So, the question is, wouldn't pushing a robot with a pinching roller in such a way that caused it to carry a ball be an example of causing "an opposing alliance to violate a rule"?
I don't think so.

If your robot picks the ball up off the ground, it's a penalty. Another robot pushing you up the ramp didn't cause your rollers to keep a hold of the ball.
