OK, I re-read the rules. According to <G25>, in the case of tipping a robot, not only is the offending robot/alliance subject to disqualification, but a 10-point penalty is also assessed. The referee should have raised the penalty flag over his head and dropped it after the infraction occurred. I did not see a penalty flag thrown...
