What difference does it make that a gravity-lowered lift no longer works when the robot's been tipped over? Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.
It's usually not difficult to power lifts in both directions and it's sage advice to do that whenever possible, but not doing so is not necessarily a catastrophic decision. There are all sorts of things that can be done to mitigate any problems that might arise from relying solely on gravity.
