The contact with a robot trying to right itself is a minimum of a penalty if it's inadvertent and a red card if it's intentional. I haven't watched the video yet, so I'll hold off on making that call until (and assuming) I see it. <G37-c-ii> does not apply if the robot is righting themselves, so that's a penalty and possibly a red card if contact was made intentionally or damages the robot substantially. (From the descriptions, penalty only would be the likely call.)
Stuffing a robot into the goal is less clear. I've seen mecanum robots go sideways into the goal under the influence of another robot and not be able to come out because their wheels on one side of their drivetrain were below the lip. No penalty was ever called. It's possible to get a yellow card, depending on how loosely <G36> is interpreted, specifically the "entanglement" part. Apparently, a robot stuffed in a goal and not able to get out is not considered "entangled", therefore, no penalty. This may change for the Championships, but we'll see about that tomorrow or next week.
In short, there was at least one possible penalty/red card for the hitting a tipped robot and a clean play that should not have netted a penalty or a card unless it was consistently repeated.

I'd suggest you watch the video, it's interesting, enlightening, and exciting.
I don't see <T05> coming into play as Pinning a team against the goal is no different than pinning a team against the side wall, with the exception that a team (through design) may not be able to get out of the goal on their own. I've seen much worse hits this year against the walls of the field with not a peep from the crowds here
.
<G37-c-ii> is not in force because 1501 was trying to self right. <G32> may be enforced depending on if the ref believed Rosie initiated the contact or the contact was initiated by 1501s self righting mechanism, and whether or not the ref beliieved the contact was intentional. I cannot say what the ref was seeing/thinking but from the video I'd say Rosie should have recieved a penalty for inadvertant contact.
<G36> is specifically for Robot-to-Robot contact and therefore should not be enforced should the field entangle a robot. Also 1501 was not entangled, but instead was high centered.
