Each ruling carries the potential for a 50 point Super-Technical, should Red 1 be in the process of climbing.
That's how I currently interpret the rules, and I implore you to correct me if I'm wrong.

If you look at my post a page back, you'll see the Q&A relevant to these kinds of situations, those Q/A responses are what I base my response below on.
Basically, if a Red Robot is Touching the Red Pyramid and is contacted or contacts a blue robot while doing nothing else, then it is a foul.
If that same red robot is attempting to score either by shooting or climbing and the same contact happens, then technically there should be a technical foul because the contact was 'consequential' - if this contact causes the red robot to miss a shot/miss-climb/etc as the contact has changed the outcome of the match.
As far as G27 is concerned, assuming Consequential contact is ruled the same for both G30 and G27, if you contact your opponents pyramid and it has no effect on the outcome of the match**, then there are no problems.
** Meaning that you did not cause a robot to fail at doing something or to do something that it wouldn't have failed/done otherwise.
