Here is the rule:

G14
Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FRC and are not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in assessment of a penalty on the target ALLIANCE.

Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL

I don't think 1241's actions can be classified as a "strategy aimed" towards causing 1114 to take a foul, and certainly "solely" aimed at that goal. Thus it didn't violate <G14>, and not triggering <G14> means the foul on 1114 counts.
