With a CG well above the floor... and the supports only 2' wide... I don't think it'll have to go far sideways. It's gotta go about 13" sideways... and once it does, don't get under it.
I predict that at some point during the competition season, a field fault will be declared when a robot carrying a ball inadvertently rams the truss and sends it over. The robot in question, sadly, may not survive.
