Looking through the videos available, these are the best I could find.

If you look from ~4:50-5:00 you can see quite a bit of mild rocking.

From ~1:15-1:40 and then again a little bit as the robot leaves the feeder station around 2:45.

In both of these examples the severity of the tip is somewhat mitigated as by this point the driver was reluctant to switch to high gear as much because of the rocking.

@GUI- yes, it is an unfortunate amount of weight up there. We are also looking into ways to reduce the weight of our shooter assembly (our withholding allowance) but hemorrhaging it entirely for the sake of maneuverability doesn't seem like an optimal tradeoff unfortunately.
