The footprint was less of an issue than I initially expected, and everything fits into the octagon fairly well. Three of our matches are on TBA, and this one shows off our robot fairly well:

As my team mate said, tipping wasn't a huge issue, although you can see the elevator could get a bit wobbly at times.
The gripper is on a lead screw, and is actually pretty fast now. We used a banebots motor attached to a tetrix gearbox to drive in and out the lead screw, and it was pretty zippy.
