I'm calling this defense strategy a bad idea. Strategies intended solely for tipping, disabling, or damaging opponents are illegal and disqualifying.

If a robot has hung and rigidly attached itself to a field element, and your first bumps/taps aren't enough to dislodge it, then you should stop trying, because the only way that you can stop it is by physically destroying the robot's latching mechanism. I'll readily allow that it's acceptable if the mechanism is fragile enough to break under reasonable interaction. But I don't think a team attempting this strategy should be forced to design systems that are proof against a 6-motor, high torque shove-bot just because the other team can't figure out anything more creative than "push it till it breaks."
