But in
this video, you can see that we do not actually start tipping until contact is made, or at least fractions of a second before.
Do I feel bad that this happened in such a critical match? Of course. Do I believe it was intentional? Not at all. Is it my call to make? Unfortunately not for the blue alliance.
The fact of the matter is this is a game with a fair amount of gray areas, in which you must be extremely careful to not accidentally do something that looks purposeful. I doubt 4176 or 2262 meant to tip us or 125, but they did, and the refs used their best judgement at the time. [Edit]In fact, my team got a foul from our own tip for interfering with crossing. If anything, the 125 tip was more up in the air.[/Edit]
Again, I am sorry this happened to the opposing alliance, and I understand their frustration, but I hope they don't take it too hard, as this is still only a game, and one they played very well regardless of the outcome of this match.
