That's because 48 was pushing on 1114's bumpers. They were pinning, but there's no rule that says if something breaks an extra penalty must be assigned. If 48 had been directly smashing the 1114's arm it probably would have been a different matter.

I was watching the match from the floor as I was on the pit crew, and it was pretty hard to see what was going on considering the mess of robots and the fact it occurred on the opposite side of the rack from the red alliance drivers.
