Re: Tipped robot

While there is a penalty for tipping a robot on purpose, a defending bot could still play very aggressive defense that causes the opposing robot to tip. In my experience, refs don't call it intentional very often. The best strategy is to not have a high center of gravity and watch out for getting hit when on bridges or crossing the barrier.
