Question Ruling in Robot Tipping

This was brought up in a pre- regional scrimmage that was held in our area, and we were wondering if we could get everyone's oppinion on this issue:

Team A's robot has a rather "useful" arm that can be used in a variaty of ways. While driving for a goal Team A happens to collide with Team B, an opposing team. Team B, because of thier height collides directly into Team A's arm and subsequently proceeds to topple over, ending up in a useless pile of rubble sprawled out on the playing field.

Now, here is the question, what ruling do the judges make in such a situation? It was clearly not a malicious act, but Team B was flipped over nonetheless. Any thoughts?
