It appeared to be a Field Malfunction - Radios went out on both of those bots. As you saw, the fog horn was not blown. 
That was not intentional. If our alliance had not been penalized for those two bots that were waiting to hear from an operator, we almost certainly would have won the match and gone on to play a 3rd QF match to decide which alliance would have advanced.
