And if that is what you are saying, then a robot that has a habit of tipping other robots, wether on purpose or accident, should be allowed to keep doing that for the rest of the match?
If they tip another bot, it is clear that the tip was intentional, and a tip is definately a hazard to damaging the other robot. Disabiling and DQing can both occur simultaneously, but not always. Some offenses warrant disabiling for safety reasons (tetras over player stations) but would not warrant a DQ. And vice versa. But in some situations, if the offense was both obviously intentional, and dangerous, it would warrant both a disabiling(for the safety of the people and robots) and a DQ (for a grevious, intentional rules violation).
