When I watched it live that is what I thought happened. I was watching the other end of the field at the time and only turned and looked after the fall. 4176 the Iron Tigers did not see your team (2079) either when they were crossing the rock wall.
For the 2nd tip on 125, the tip happened in a very quick sequence during the pushing match.
Our alliance was not intentionally trying to tip over anyone so we're really upset with the red card. We were also upset with the sequence of events that followed because of the contest with the officials from the red alliance after the match. Our alliance captain was not spoken to prior to the DQ for our version of what happened. When asked for an explanation they were told that we were DQ'd for intentionally tipping.

Again Blue could have backed off..their drivers were close to the action, seems they chose to tip.

Thanks for the input Eric and Boltman, both tips happened very quickly. I think we're hitting on some earlier discussion where when playing either offense or defense against robots with high COG they tip over and who's responsible and what merits a penalty etc.
2 tipped robots definitely look bad but that alone I don't think is necessarily indicative of strategy especially not one of harm or incapacitation.
