The definitions of both low and hanging have no reference to contact with other robots.

Low Hanging – A robot is considered to be low hanging if it is touching the ladder AND every part of the robot is entirely above the orange ladder rung. (A high hanging robot is not considered low hanging)

High Hanging – A robot is considered to be high hanging if it is touching the ladder AND every part of the robot is entirely above the yellow ladder rung. A robot which is considered to be high hanging is not considered low hanging.

Yes, this would be illegal by rule <G11> and considered either or both intentional entanglement and intentional destruction.

<G11> Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or entanglement of robots are not in the spirit of the VEX Competition and are not allowed. However, VEX Round Up is an interactive game. Some incidental tipping, entanglement, and damage may occur as a part of normal game play. If the tipping, entanglement, or damage is ruled to be intentional, the offending team may be disqualified from that match. Repeated offenses could result in a team being disqualified from the remainder of the competition.
