Is FRC giving high CG robots a free pass on defense?

Here in the PNW we've seen a few tipped robot calls and they've gone both ways and have had major impact. Up until our Semi-Final match tie-breaker at the District championship, the instances I had seen here had been instant red cards. team 3663 had tipped a robot in the semi final tie breaker at Mt Vernon district, causing them to get the red card and get knocked out. Our semi-final tiebreaker at the district championship seemed to have the red card called on 1425 for tipping our alliance partner 2522, and then after the match the call was reversed. Without the third robot, we couldn't capture, and we lost the match based on points, and got knocked out. Consistency is the only thing I would ask for, so we know how to play, what to look out for, and what to expect the outcome to be.
