IMHO, that is not a G24 "tipping". It doesn't seem like there was a "strategy" to cause the tipping. Blue kept coming at Red, and Red pushed back.

It could be a G24 "initiating deliberate contact" within the frame perimeter. When Blue tipped, it seems like Red might have contacted the bottom (within the frame perimeter) of the Blue Bot.
