G28 - contact inside the frame perimeter, requires either deliberate or damaging contact. It did not look deliberate to me. Blue 3712 was almost motionless, and the Red Robot was approaching blue.

If damage to Red occurred, then I would have called G28. If there was no damage to red, then then I would not have called G28.

In North Bay we were rammed by a rookie machine against the driver's station while trying to collect a ball. The hit mangled our intake mechanism so badly you can see it in the video. The offending robot had ridden up on top of our bumper and when we cycled the intake mechanism and tried to reposition to collect our ball they tipped over. You can see no call was made by the ref in that quadrant nor the head ref at the time. At the end of the match though, we were assigned a technical for tipping and no call was made against the other team for ramming despite them having accelerated from the truss. We had to bend our intake back into shape and repair 12 cracked welds.

Red was a candidate for G27 - High Speed ramming. So, if damaged occurred, then it should have been called on them. Not only did they come at the Blue Bot from a distance, but the collision caused Red Bot to rock, and thus end up riding up on Blue's bumper.

I would not have called Blue for G28 Tipping. Red caused themselves to ride up on Blue's bumper and violate Blue's frame perimeter. Blue seemed to be playing the ball (and moving in the only direction it could), and not a "strategy" to tip Red.
