I was able to go behind the driver's station (I was a queuer at that event, so I got some back-seat views), and from their viewpoint, they would not have been able to see the robot they were pushing over due to the sally port; they probably thought they were stuck on a boulder. But they definitely had the option to back off, hence the card. Just in case anyone tries to say it was intentional. Those guys wouldn't do that.

This has really been the year of the red card... at least 3 occasions of it happening, and another few where it could have happened. amazing what happens when there's a lot of defense/contact between robots, wedge shaped manipulators, and robots with high clearance drivetrains :v
