Is it the other teams fault for building a tipsy robot?

In Rack 'n Roll I saw this happen many times and never saw it called a penalty. But then again bumpers were not mandatory.
I have a feeling you will see very few tipping penalties this year as well.

... tighten up your chinstraps boys, It's going to be rough out there.
