Yes, because Sheldon was frustrated by the Lack of results causing his already very low social compitence to drop to zero and the guys were annoyed by him that obviously justifies them to contemplate murder and then decide to sabotage a science expedition that will have cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. NOT!

In reality Leonard, Howard and Raj would have likely been sued and fired, their careers in tatters for something like this. My only guess for what may have happened is that either Sheldon didn't specify the sabotage was deliberate not accidental or he actually covered for them.
