Then again, you're Wildstang. I'm sure you've accounted for it. Great bot.
I'll also point out that this robot is a long (38"l x 28"w) robot... I have seen quite few tippy 38x28" robots that are shorter than 60" (at the time). This robot seems to be <48", doesn't look to have much weight up high, and was designed by 111.

I imagine this machine would need to be rolled back at least 45deg to start tipping...
