The rules state that if you possess the wrong ball, it is a technical foul. It explicitly states in the rules that you should design your robot to never possess the opponent's ball - even accidentally.
Now, if the blue team intentionally put the blue ball in the red robot, it would be causing them to take a penalty. But they just went for the truss shot that bounced into the red robot.
Either way, it is really heart breaking when the top seed loses before the finals. Kudos to the blue alliance for playing good defence and having a really well rounded alliance!
