It does not appear to be caused by Blueabot moving their intake upward as OP suggests (would have tipped the opposite way initially if that was the case). Redabot did contact Blueabot during this process so they could have caused Blueabot to become stuck on the goal, and thus cause the tip. Redabot moved away so Blueabot could have tried to lift its intake if it was stuck. I think it is about 75% Blue's fault and 25% Red's Fault so I would call a Blue Major Penalty based on this replay.
Now what did the Refs see?

Probably something close to what the camera man and emcee saw.

Teleop starts around 2:03:00 on the 4/25 stream.
Red clearly not in contact as blue perform risky operation to retrieve ball on the goal base. Emcee says they need to be careful with the goal because it's perched on a ball. Happened just before endgame period.
Oddly the head ref told us he didn't see what happend and yes that's him in the corner at the moment it happened.
