One ref thought that Bluabot's DQ was called for ramming, while another thought it was called for intentionally causing the incursion. Since it occurred in the elimination rounds, the result of this double-DQ was a replay.
Can someone who was directly involved please offer clarification, or correction if I got the story wrong?

Wasn't there, nor involved, but it's been posted and in Q/A (and maybe update?) that regardless how you get in the goal past 3in, you will be DQ'd... so if a robot gets pushed into the goal that far, they can be DQ'd.

I suppose the
I believe update 15 addresses this as well.
The pushing robot risks penalty from ramming or safety, as I'm not sure what the point of pushing a robot at the corner goal would be.
