We had the same problem during the playoffs at North Shore where our robot was being defended against, back and forth bumping etc trying to shoot. The other robot happened to be top heavy and tipped and we got a yellow card.

It was similar to this where were just driving forward and backed up, it was not intentional but we were penalized for it.

What really seals the deal for me is the presence of two drawbridges on the field. This makes it very unlikely that the drivers could even clearly see the interaction happening in time to stop it.

If the driver did not back off, hit the underside of the robot, did extended pushing, etc etc it might be different, but particularly with the drawbridge in the way there's nothing the drivers could have done to stop this.

228 was the offender in a very similar incident at RIDE this weekend, and it was a no-call. We didn't even know there was a tip until 20 seconds later when someone opened the drawbridge and we saw the defender upside down.

I agree with the majority on this one; this is definitely a clean hit.
