This happened in week 1 at the alamo regional. It was either a square or a triangle, I can't remember which. We were able to get it down with the hook and an extra pvc pole that we had by the scoring table. I don't remember any penalties being assessed for doing this since it was not actively interfering with the other team's scoring. It was stuck up top and didn't block the path for the minibot to get up and score on the tower.

At Lone Star (at least I think it was Lone Star) we actually had someone "score" on a tower without deploying a mini bot. A tube hit the tower in the last 10 seconds of the match and was successful in activating the scoring plate, being the first (and only) tower to be scored on that match. We just voided out the tower score and the refs didn't assess a penality here either.
