Well I must of watched the video about 3 times and here is what I saw:

The robot that did the tipping(Gunn), I think was trying to get onto the puck while not letting the team that got tipped onto the puck. Thier arm was playing defense while they tried to get onto the puck,it it did a good job of it, then as soon as the Gunn Robot got onto the puck the arm went smashing into the robot that then tipped over. Was it intentional? I don't think it was, but that is just my opinion and my opinion doesn't matter, what matters is what the judges saw and this isn't anything that anyone can do about it.But I would also like to say that the robots in the match seemed to be very good robots and who knows, if they had another match maybe the outcome would de different. Good Luck to all teams and this is why I would hate to be a referee.
