931 has a lead screw going the entire length of the robot, with weights (including the battery) that can be moved forward our backwards to change their CG. The position of the weight also factored in to their ability to go over the bump. Whether or not this would be helpful for a triple I don't know; we were with them in two tournaments, neither of which had a triple balance.
