That one was a CLASSIC intentional tipping foul. Robot starts to go over, pushing team pauses, then pushes farther, robot tips all the way. Any ref that DOESN'T call that is probably going to get the tipped team in the question box asking why it wasn't called. Ervin is dead on on that.

Willy, I'd pay attention to what Sean is saying about playing defense with your intake down, too. I've seen a lot of teams draw fouls for G28. If you're going to play with your intake down all the time, try running into other teams in reverse--it could save you a lot of trouble (assuming they don't tip over).


(BTW, 971: awesome bounceback. It's been far too long since I've seen a team do one of those!)
