I've been a defender of the possible flaws in this bot since I first saw it. So I'll jump in here, too.

Their bot is designed to flip over the lexan within the first 2 seconds of the match. There is only one possibility of them coming down on a box, and thats if immediatly a team can flick a box where they land (while in autonomous mode). There is the possibility they land on a bot, or possibly the field, if there is a team that can (in auton) go full reverse and hit 179 before they are half-way through their flip manuever.

They will be like throwing a banana, obscure center of gravity, but I don't forsee any problems.
