If you do something during teleop and you can't be called for that action in the endgame, boy will there be a lot of pins when the lights start flashing.

It's a deliberate action taken to prevent a minibot from climbing. The rule does not say, In the End Game, you can't interfere with deployment/climbing. It says, You can't interfere, with no time limit given. So if I slam an Ubertube over your post's target autonomously, and it interferes with minibot deployment (which it probably will), and I don't get a red card, you're going to be in the question box explaining to the ref that you couldn't deploy because I slammed an Ubertube over your target. (In that case, I'd also get a penalty. But I might view the penalty as minor compared to the race points.)

Deliberate interference=red card.
