Self-righting devices could become key to some regionals that are known for their aggressive defense while others will rarely see a robot tip. Guess its good to know what to expect, if only we ever really could.

hehehe.

We're going to BAE, so there WILL be agressive defense. No question about it :D

Re: Anti-tip or Self-Righting Mechanisms?

Our team is using a low CG to not tip. Also, we don't plan on going over the bumps, so we think the chances of tipping are the same as any other year. Having said that, if we were planning on going over the bump, I believe that we would have put more thought into having a robot that could right itself.
