It looks like 1114 was trying to bump the ball away. I'd have a hard time making the call of whether or not their action was the catalyst for the damage, or simply that 1241 was racing to pick up the ball and happened to run into 1114 doing it.

1241 was trying to truss the blue ball.
1114 was playing defence.
1114 blocked the shot.
1241 tries to pick up the blocked blue ball.
1114 also heads towards the blue ball to play defence on 1241.
Both teams interact resulting in a broken antennae.


I'm sure there are many ways people will analyze this but I feel that both robots were part of the damage and that's why the refs did not call the technical foul on 1241.
