I told your mentor that I would review the video, talk to our driver and make changes. I have done that and am currently learning through this process. We admire the craftsmanship and technology designed into your robot and did not intend to damage your robot during that match and I told your mentor that we were sorry as a team if we were too aggressive.
Our intake arm has been adjusted so that it will be up when not picking up the ball.
The other tip over occurred in a earlier match where a robot was positioned between our robot and the ball with the ball against the wall. While going for the ball the opposing robot was turned over thus trapping the ball between the wall and the other robot.
As you can see in the video posted our robot does not have any unusual device that would cause a robot to fall over other than a low center of gravity and the standard AndyMark KOP drive system. We are not out to destroy other robots but we do want to play competitively.
Thank you for all of your comments we appreciate them and will learn from them.
