Re: The physics of flipping
The negative acceleration pointed out by Don is definitely the one we're worried about too. We're trying to keep the angle between the floor and the line between our rear contact and the CG less than 45 degrees so that we can experience as much as 1g laterally and be just fine. And even lower is even better. This includes when we are crossing the bump/bridge, so depending on wheel profile, the angle on flat ground needs to be potentially as small as 22 degrees, making a short wheel base harder and harder.
