195 was in the corner locking down 2 red trackballs. 1114 was attempting to gain access to one of the red trackballs, when 40 came around into the blue home stretch, perpendicular to 1114. 40 tried to push through the traffic jam created by 1114 and 195 battling it out for the trackballs. 1114 tilted up on to 40's chasis because of the blue trackball in 40's arm pushing high inside the bumper zone. With 1114 beached on top of 40, 40 continued to push forward without backing up, and 1114 went over.
This may have been excusable/accidental if it happened on the opposite end of the field from 40's driver's station. It happened right in the blind spot for the middle and right driver's station for 1114/217/148, however it happend right in front of 40's driver's station. I think that's why they DQ'ed them, which is unfortunate for their partners.

40 was trying to score, 1114 was impeding them (I doubt it was intentional) 1114 tipped over. It seemed innocent enough to me, and I was standing about inline with the involved robots, on the side of the field closest to the stands.

I've seen teams do much worse and get away with it. Personally I thought it should have been a yellow card, but the refs clearly were not allowing any kind of contact whatsoever, and they chose to DQ 40.

I agree wholeheartedly with cory on this one....1114 was unintentionally impeding 40 by going after their trackball...the whole situation just seemed misfortuante

From what I could see, in the process or cornering off the red trackballs, 195 was blocking what otherwise would have been a clear passing lane around 1114. As per <G40>: A robot can not impede a robot of the same alliance, 195's position would have prevented 1114 from impeding.

But 1114 was blocking, as there wasn't a way around them. So they were impeding.

This could go in circles all day long. I say, call it like the refs called it, and let it go at that. Won't change anything now, anyway.
