If you accept the premise that this damage did not spontaneously appear via divine will, your bot did the damage.

So yes. Your strategy of take advantage of the fact that the refs didn't call the various flagrant fouls you were committing (possession of our ball for the majority of two matches, contact inside perimeter, damaging contact, repeated high speed ramming) works. If the refs had been halfway competent your alliance would have been red carded in match 2 for repeated and strategic possession of the opposing alliances ball.
Except our claw never went down during that match so it was impossible that we could have done that to you guys and even if it was us we had no intentions of causing any harm.
