The penalties I rememeber them stressing was from a full speed ramming run from 5 feet or more away (even in autonomous mode) and grabbing a tube in another robot's possession. I got the feeling they weren't going to call penalties for robot arms touching, incidental or otherwise.

This is true, i am surprised it was brought up so late in the discussion. 177 didn't grab the tube. When the two robots and the tube became in tangled 177's drivers took there hands of the controllers.
