There are sound RAW arguments both for and against it.

Games Workshop have not provided FAQs regarding it.

Games Workshop's rules service (John Spencer) has said that the deff rolla does not cause the hits when ramming.

The INAT FAQ says that the Deff Rolla does not cause the hits when ramming.

Fur further info into the arguments both for and against do a search of the forums, it has already been debated Ad Nauseum here

Interceptor Drones can disembark at any point during the Sun Shark's move (even though models cannot normally disembark from Zooming Flyers).

yes it has. but before only referencing times when its been ruled against, its important to recognize that for Ard boyz 2008, it was ruled that it DID work. and for a couple of grand tournaments around that time, they followed suit.

its lame as hell that gw wont just faq it one way or the other and put it in print.. thankfully I don't play in the tournament scene much

I would personally say no. I don't think a pointy thing running over a vehicle would do much but it WOULD probably stab people but vehicles, nah.

Do you want to volunteer your vehicle to find out? A big spiky roller can do significant damage to a vehicle if it's massive enough.

Basically what he said. The main reason is because GW are too lazy wiping their arses with all the money we give them to write FAQ's and/or Errata.

GW probably won't FAQ it until after they release the new Deff Rolla sprue.

And then they will FAQ it that the Deffrolla somehow actually causes 3d6 S10 hits so they can sell more.
