The raised front creates a single 4wd base (for most play) with the ability to traverse obstacles with the front wheels. When in full reverse, there is potential for the acceleration to cause a shift to the [robot] front wheels.

That is correct
Again, thanks for the info on tetering as a method of control. Definitely a new bit of info for me. Ever since stack attack, I've been wary of tippy robots :lol:
OP, I hope we haven't gotten too far off your original question...
