Note: I am suggesting that the appropriate call for hitting the overhanging edge of a robot on the bridge, per the rules as written, is a Tech foul [G28] even if that contact unbalances a balanced bridge or otherwise interferes with balancing. The "If the act...." section of G25 is written as part of the "Violation" section which means that it is used to stipulate the penalty for violating the rule which requires a violation of the rule itself to begin with (touching the bridge).

G25 doesn't say you must contact the bridge for the violation to be incurred. It implies that there are ways to interfere with balancing that don't involve contacting the bridge. The balance attempt was clearly interfered with by 67, by definition of interfere. Though that doesn't mean it changed the outcome, its certainly enough to make a case for G25.
