more like sore winner because they won the match. If they had lost, it still would have been bad, but they won the match, what's to complain about. About tipping, it is just a part of the game and it is hard to tell if it was intentional or not. Example: Last year in Houston, we were with Buzz 175 in the playoffs. I think the refs accused Buzz of tipping and what had been a gigantic win for us turned into a 10-point loss. The whole thing was pretty bad because basically, one robot's arm got tangled up with another robot and both tried to pull away and one flipped. I think that even the other alliance was like "That's a penalty?" Fortunately for us, we were able to come back and win the next match and move on.
