Except for one "minor" thing.

We aren't talking about a [G28] violation. Should one have been called? Probably. But it is entirely independent of the rule in most question, which is [G25]. [G25] is covered by [G44]. As such, if the referee's judgement is that the robot in question is getting a penalty because of their opponent's actions, then [G44] is invoked, no penalty, no foul.

Long post short: [G28], one call. [G25], no call. [G44], exception invoked under [G28]. [G45] potential call, but can't show strategy so no call.

3 foul points to red alliance. Blue alliance still wins. That's the only call I can justify without getting harshly reminded by this forum of [G44]'s existence and exception.
