Finale Blocking Strategy

Consider this situation for blocking during the finale period:

A redbot is positioned between a bluebot and the blue alliance tower. Redbot is clearly trying to prevent bluebot from gaining access to the tower. Bluebot pushes redbot into the tower segments that are below the platform level. Rule G35 says "During the FINALE, ROBOTS in may not contact the OPPONENT’S TOWER. Violation: PENALTY for inadvertent contact; plus a RED CARD for obviously intentional contact." Given that redbot was pushed into the tower by bluebot, is this still a penalty?
