Try G30. It's a foul. However, if it's purposeful or consequential, make that a T-foul for 20. If a climb is affected, 30 for the climb, PLUS whatever CLIMB points the robot earns (Q141).

So, translation: If you brush an opponent contacting their pyramid, the best you can expect is 3 points for them. If it's obviously intentional (purposeful) or it moves them significantly (consequential), 20 points for them instead. If they are also trying a climb, 30-60 points depending on which level they end up at. (That's the penalty plus whatever climb points they get.)

Shorter translation: Do you REALLY want to even THINK about defending an opponent who is in contact with their pyramid, or could be at a second's notice? And if you do, then think a few times.

Please note that this is not necessarily a "use of discs to aid or inhibit a climb" situation, so any G16 penalties will be in addition to any G30 penalties assessed.
