You can't cause others to get penalties, if you do neither team gets said penalty, it just goes away.

For one of our matches that didn't seem to apply to field damage. We were trying to hand off the side of the tower, another robot hit us and our hook bounced onto the no-touch side of the tower. The driver unfortunately hit the winch, causing a red card, but according to the ref there still would have been a penalty even if we didn't attempt a lift.

Anyways, it still could be argued as a "dangerous mechanism" if it even unintentionally causes field damage, and could knock out their chute design if the ref outlaws grabbing the tower
