Since the 967 did not get assessed a red card, I take it to mean that the refs did not feel like the climb was affected, and so the climbing points should not have been awarded. And the refs on Curie were very clear that they knew what constituted a violation of G27 in the first finals match when the red alliance was disqualified due to that same rule.

The pyramid was not touched by 967. G27 (and its associated penalties) therefore does not apply to this situation. G30, on the other hand, does apply, due to robot/robot contact when a robot contacts its own pyramid being a factor--and G30 does not have a provision for a red card.

If 967 had in fact contacted the pyramid, I would have expected at least another T-foul to be added on to the score, regardless of whether or not the climb bonus was applied.
