I'm just hypothesizing, but maybe there was some misunderstanding somewhere along the way. You are correct in your assessment that a yellow card and a foul does not warrant a red card automatically.

Here's my description of the penalties associated with tipping a robot:
The strategy aimed at tipping a robot earns a yellow card and a foul. If it incapacitates the robot, then a red card is issued.
So

Yellow Card + Foul !== Red Card.

But

(Yellow Card + Foul) + Incapacitation of Opponent Robot == Red Card.
