Your team tipping 107 was obviously not a strategy and a lot of it would have been 107's fault for building a robot with such a high center of mass. I would honestly question your refs about that match but the competition is over and what is done is done. I definitely believe the IN crew got this call right and I'm not sure how much damage was caused to 107's robot, but I definitely would not say the red card call was 100% right at all. I also won't say it was 100% wrong either.

It seems the way this is being called is that if you take the robot out of the match by actively hitting them with your robot it's a red card regardless of how top heavy they are or the situation they are in. I agree with this approach since I would be pretty upset if someone tipped us early in the match, got a yellow card (essentially no consequences) and then we lost the match because we couldn't score.
