I'm not sure, I just remember Benge's final ruling being that it was an unintentional hit/entanglement so no penalty was called. Either way both semifinal matches were extraordinary and well played by both alliances. As for R04, I believe that because the arms fold up in contact with the overpass or another robot (or anything so long as it isn't a head on collision) that the inspectors and judges felt that they would not impose an obvious risk. Then again, its all in one's interpretation of the word obvious...
