That would depend on the manner of the contact. If you were to brush it with a broom or something similar, once or twice a match, you could probably write it off. If you were to hit it with a frame member on multiple occasions during a match, that would probably count as a penalty per occurrence.
In other words, 1) we'd need more information on the manner of contact, and 2) that's for the referees to determine.
Now, I do have some advice for the future: If a referee would need to make a judgement call on an action your robot is designed to perform, you probably want to rethink the design and manufacture.
