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.

prior to those matches, not once did we say anything about damaging the opponent, trapping the ball, or ramming. The only thing we said was play good defense. we were not trapping the ball, because we were in motion along the full length of the field, we were just preventing you from getting to the other side of our robot, that's not trapping that defense. the video shows absolutely no evidence of 2648 claw going into your robot. therefore to accuse them of intentionally damaging your robot is ungracious.
Also calling the referees incompetent is very disrespectful, they put in there time to help out at an event. they are the reason we were both able to compete at battle-cry, therefore I am going to say thank you to all the volunteers for putting forth much effort to manage the event.
