Whenever 2 robots get in a pushing match, the one with lower bumpers always has more leverage. If the bumper is lower, then the pushing robot won't be able to wedge itself under the other team's bumper and contact the t-boned robot's frame, so it won't have an advantage in leverage; therefore, it's less likely that the robot being pushed will tip over.
