Rule G45 says that if you exploit G44, it's a T-foul and Red Card. Rule G28 states that a robot may not touch its opponent in contact with the key, alley, or bridge--no matter who initiates (and says that it supersedes G44 on that).

The question to ask Q&A is this: "Because G28 opens the door for a team to repeatedly contact an opponent who happens to get stuck/pushed into/otherwise jammed in or next to a Key, Alley, or Bridge, racking up points just by contacting the team, would G45 be brought into play against a team who tried to use this to their advantage? In short, does G45 apply against G28 as well as G44?"
