At our local kickoff we had a prebuilt one to play with, if there is no weight on it to make it offbalance it will automaticly rebalance itself. This means that you will probibly have to buld somthing to keep it down as your robot is getting on. They are also fairly high off the ground, so you cant just run into it unless you are trying to push it down for an aliance member on the other side.
