It does have nothing to do with bots that are designed to tip . I am saying that even elite teams get tipped from bumper to bumper contact. If I am in a match with the Poofs (and I don't care about making my Grandma proud) then I am absolutely going to flip them if there isn't going to be a penalty. And you can flip the Poofs just like you could flip any robot (unless the the robot you are trying to flip has no traction underneath, like if they have mecanums or regolith).
