Re: [YMTC]: [YMTC]: Bumper-to-Bumper Tipping
I see no tipping foul as the ability to "back off" was not there thus I do not believe the tipping intent was there either. so my call as an observer of this scenario would be NO FOUL.

I think the way to think of tipping, is if the tipper had an opportunity to see the competitor tipping then backed off (no foul) also the tip happens with little to no reaction time then (no foul)

You likely get a FOUL when INTENT is there or the chance to back off was not heeded as a robot is tipping. (Foul and could be a RED CARD as well) or you had a specialized tipping extension etc.

In reality a lot of cheese caked bots end up top heavy so not surprised to see some defensive bots tip and that also creates opportunities for FREE SCALES it the tipped bot is touched in last 20 seconds on way to batter
