You might want to consider some "curb feeler" posts on the corners of your frame riding about an 1/8" over the carpet. Your wheels must in real far in, or you have a lot of drop in your center wheel. You practically tip over when you change direction. People kept hitting our climbing robot last year, and the colored discs would fly out. We added "curb feelers", and we lost a lot less discs.
No hard feeling from 4143. We'll gladly play with you, or cleanly against you at Wisconsin. Good luck at St. Louis. Hopefully we'll see you there.

Wait... we are supposed to plan for time for practice matches? I thought that first day was fix the robot day
Yeah, we have a few (a lot) of changes that we are planning out prior to Wisconsin that we plan on implementing.
Don't expect any less defense from us though, just more clean defense ... and possibly stronger
Regarding the tipping, there's a couple things wrong with the robot currently, and I will relay your recommendations to the rest of my team to check out... a lot of it is also that prior to the regional, I had about 10 minutes worth of real drive time with the robot and still don't really have a feel for driving it (First year as the driver)
See you there... along with the rest of your alliance from CIR haha.
