In order for a yellow or red card to be issued the offending robot must have keep pushing to the point that their bumper/robot is contacting something other than the bumper of the opposing robot (frame, drivetrain, etc). If it tips from bumper contact then that is a design problem.
I would also like to add "If it apparent the opposing bot is tipping, than the defending bot must back away as fast as possible". I say this, because I've seen matches where only the bumpers of two bots will touch, but one bot is so powerful, it will be able to completely lift an opposing bot to a point where gravity will finish the tipping motion, by only continuously pushing on it.
