Tipping the robot one can be an accident, but once it happens multiple times, it becomes a strategy. Also, I'm glad that 225 was able to garner a strategy to prevent themselves from being tipped.
For what it's worth, of the three times we tipped (from videos I have watched) only the time in Chestnut Hill SF2-1 could be considered the fault of the opposing alliance.

Regardless of how the crowd reacted at Chestnut Hill, the event staff, volunteers, and the drive teams I worked with were extremely gracious at both events.
