I know the match you're talking about, and it was indeed the most vicious match I've seen in competition. One robot managed to tip over two of the opposing robots, and was going for the third. The first two looked okay from the stands, because the contact point between the robots was relatively low. When this robot went for the third, though, they had their arm pushing firmly against the upper joint of the opposing robot's arm, which is not allowed. I think that the first two attacks were relatively GP, and would have been an acceptable strategy, but the third one merited the disqualification.
