Unless I've missed a pretty major rule, there's absolutely nothing wrong with merely driving under an opponent's pyramid if you're not touching it. Obviously, if you nick an opponent on the way in/out that's touching the pyramid, that's a large penalty.

There's also nothing wrong with driving under the pyramid and touching it, as long as you do not affect a robot's climb, or their ability to climb. That's what the head ref at CVR told me, anyway.
