There's your precedent.
Robot-robot contact is diffrent then what we are talking about here and precendent does not change the rules. We are discussing a situation and the result based upon the rules as written.

In any event, here are the rules regarding your situation. See G15 and Update 4.

Violations will result in a 30-point penalty (i.e. three 10-point penalty flags will be thrown) to the offending alliance.

No penalty is assessed to either alliance, because only incidental contact occurred, and BLUE01 did not interfere with the RED01 efforts to retrieve the tetra.
