In the first two of those matches it looked like there should of been a high speed ramming called.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the high speed ramming penalty was for defensive autonomous robots who rammed into stationary robots. If both robots are in motion, then i guess it's just the luck of the draw.
