It was a very specific situation that led to the ruling favouring blue. It is equally likely that a similar collision could go the other way if the defensive robot broke completely.
I'm not defending the GDC's decision, but I suspect they are taking "what are the chances it will happen" approach given the complexity of the robot interaction rules. (see 2012 build season cantilevered bridge grappling definition)

While I don't think this exact call will pop up more than once or twice again this season, I think there a good chance that a call this controversial will decide at least one division final and an Einstein match too. The fouls are just too big and unevenly enforced to keep huge controversies from boiling up over and over and over...
