Ouch. Well, in defense of our poor bot, I didn't see a lot of stacking from any other robots either -- it was mostly a box shoving match down there.
As for flipping... Embarrassingly, it did topple twice during competition. Of course, I heard that it was under certain circumstances and the guys are fixing up a solid panacea in the interim before shipping.
So the toppling will be resolved (some shifting of components to alter CG is part of the package), and I think the box grabbing mechanism is also to be changed. That's all I could say -- I'm a programmer and am clueless when it comes to mechanical design and engineering anyway. So I guess my talk is all moot. Wee!
