WOW-- Did I miss something?

[CJV648]

I'm not not sure of the refs reasoning, but it was different than what was used in Curie QF 34 when 1270 got under both 648 and 1732 while playing defense next to the rack in the match. Neither tipped--648 drove across them, they backed off 1732. Only the 1732 encounter is shown in the video.

Looking at the low profile of 1270's bot versus the others I see how their behavior could be interpreted as contrary to the intent of the wedge/tipping rules and therefore overly aggressive. Looking at their profile it isn't a wedge per se, so I can also see why a ref might not call it a violation. It is a legitimate matter of interpretation.

A yellow card in QF 34 might have made 1270 a little more cautious and let them avoid the tipping on Einstein.

Under the circumstances I can see why 1270 and allies would be frustrated by the change in interpretation, but keeping things in perspective, they did have a great run in a fun game.
