A robots center of gravity is an important consideration during design, and I can't help it if robots with higher CG's got tipped. I'm quite embarrassed that we ended up tipping 4 robots, but I find it insulting that you would say we did it intentionally

FIRST tries to remove some stress from the refs by making most of the rules clearly objective and not based on intent. Perhaps it was not intentional, but if you look at it objectively, 171 did tip over 4296 every match at approximately the same time each match. I have nothing against you or your team, but intentional or not, it did happen repeatedly, which can be viewed as 'strategic'.
