I can see where the call came from though. It could be argued that the other robot was acting within standard gameplay when tipped our robot (unintentionally) as it attempted to get to the low-goal (as well as at the end of the match while trying to get to the batter.) Same call should be made if a defensive bot is trying to block access to a receiving zone and it is pushed into it.

Fyi regardless of how, why, or what state your robot is in. If you were in that courtyard at the 20 second mark any robot could touch you for any reason and they got an automatic scale
