But the rule says, "ROBOT has CLIMBED its PYRAMID if it contacts the PYRAMID" The glossary defines a pyramid as the steel structure, it doesn't say it includes to floor. Level 0 is the floor, so no part of the pyramid appears to be in Level 0. This lead us to confusion, as it can mean that either all climbs are invalid, or that you can grab rungs 1 and 2 while on the ground.

Additionally, I was curious about the definition of the word "contact" in rule 3.1.5.2 (climb points). Lastly, can one alliance use the other alliance's colored frisbees?

The Robot 3.1.5.1
"A DISC is considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S GOAL if any part of the DISC has crossed through the opening of the GOAL,
is in the GOAL at the end of the MATCH, and is not in contact with any ROBOT from that ALLIANCE. "
(Emphasis mine)
It seems that it must be all three, so it can be partially in, but it has to be there at the end of the match. (So if it bounces out, it doesn't count.)
