what if the robot flips?
After seeing so many robots flip on their backs, I can't not wonder: what will happen if our robot flips?

The top of our robot is made of wood, and has a toughbox on top of it, covered by a metal plate about 1/8'' thick. What will happen if it flips? Will the toughbox survive? Our robot weighs 117 lbs. Our robot is low, so it's not likely to flip, but I want to be prepared, just in case.

Thanks in advance,
