All matches from the Midland District are linked on the match pages on
TBA (though for some reason the video icons are not shown). Alternatively, they can be found on
FiM's YouTube channel. Also, having looked at the videos from your 4 elimination matches, the penalties that were called appeared to be for other infractions, not for "almost tipping" or anything like that.
My personal opinion on tipping penalties is that if a robot tips/flips due to normal bumper contact with another robot while both bots are flat on the carpet and there's no other interference, then it's the fault of the tipped robots team for building a robot that's too tippy and not the fault of the defender who is otherwise following all the rules. If this isn't the case, you could essentially build a robot that was easily tipped to draw yellow/red cards on other teams and just claim ignorance.
If you don't want to tip, lower your bumpers as much as allowed (and practical given defenses), lower your CoG, and add ballast if you're under 120lbs.
