(1) If my robot goes under the pyramid (contacts) in order to play defense, is that penalty consequential?
(2) As OP mentioned, if I use the pyramid kind of a block to do a "pick and roll" kind of move, is the action consequential?
(3) If traversing under the pyramid (contacts) in order to get to the feeder station the fastest, is the action consequential?

Consequential means the action has an effect on the outcome of the MATCH.
By the exceedingly broad definition the GDC gives, I think any tactic that would give you an advantage (ie going under the pyramid to make a faster route to your goals) could be considered consequential. The ambiguity comes up when you consider actions that are potentially consequential versus actually consequential.
