However, at 3:53 of the video, it appears obvious that the Blue Alliance is called for a G23 by the midfield official on the left side of the screen. He waves his flag and points right at the robot in contact with the Red Alliance tower during the End Game. You really need to start watching the video earlier that the 3:30 mark to see that machine drive into the tower (during a time when it isn't illegal) but then, once the End Game begins, the G23 is called.

Mike, my understanding is that what Kevin says is true. 3278 was close to the tower, but not touching. The left midfield ref is closest.

I would guess that the ref was pointing at the action on the right side of the field. It is hard to tell where the ref was looking though. I also see no movement from 3278, so you would think the ref would signal the penalty almost immediately at the start of the end game (notice 2512 is backing away when the flag is waved and one minibot is up while the second is really close).

An unintentional contact with 1730 while not in the process of deploying by 2549 would result in that three point penalty and no cards.
