This also agrees with what I know of the situation.
I would tend to think the middle ref on the left has the best view of this robot. In addition, if you pay attention to the team (3278, black shirts), it seems to be the center individual who is the driver. I see nothing that indicates driving from 3:30ish in the video to the end. Notice, all three of the refs on the left side walk by without a closer inspection. So, the two real options are 1) it was obvious from field level they were not touching or 2) it was touching and the refs ignored it or they miscalled the penalty. I would think someone would have asked about it if it was touching, so I would tend to think that the refs saw daylight as it were between the tower and the robot. Again this agrees with people who were on the field.
