That was 1889 and 1390 getting tangled up together. 1390 was playing counter defense against 1889's advances on team 69. 1889 did have a ringer in possession. 1889's arm got caught in 1390's forklift, the robots tried to untangle themselves, and 1889 fell over snapping their arm off in the process. 1390 had to get rid of the 1889's blue ringer still attached to 1889's arm before climbing up 69's ramp.
It was a close call, I think a penalty could have gone either way. It was definitely not intentional to tip, nor break off 1889's arm. The 1390 students immediately asked 1889 if there was anything we could do to help repair the arm, but they said it was an easy fix and not to worry about it.
