We wondered this, too.
The explanation we received was that the contact happened after the match had ended and that fouls can only occur during a match. Despite the contact, we were still not touching the ground. Roxie called NH and they upheld her decision. I don't agree with the call, but it is what it is.
Given the explanation we received and that scoring is not tabulated until 5 seconds after a match has ended should objects remain in motion, it is conceivable that a robot could coast into a robot that has hung / coast into the pyramid and knock down robots and create a circumstance wherein no fouls are assessed and the hanging points are not awarded.
