You can always be defense, even if you cannot score. Yet I think this rule allows for the robot with the tube on it to continue playing:

G61: The actions of an ALLIANCE shall not cause an opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule and thus incur PENALTIES. Any rule violations committed by the affected ALLIANCE shall be excused, and no PENALTIES will be assigned.
Unless otherwise noted, all PENALTIES assigned by referees are applied to the entire ALLIANCE.

It wasn't their option and was caused by another team, so any penalties arising from the tube could be excused.
