A: No.


So any opponent robot that tries to climb you will earn themselves a G27 violation, complete with technical foul. Of course, you may well find times where this an entirely worthwhile tradeoff. Being qualifications though, I wish your coach luck in negotiating these and determining in-match whether they'll actually happen, if you decide to go that route.

Note that G27 can also earn the opposing robot a yellow card for repeated or egregious violations. You may want a Q&A, but I'd suspect there's nothing much repeated (at least not in a single match, and I doubt you'll coopertition balance with the same robot twice) and certainly not egregious.
