Even the people that bought the Andymark cart say its 'tippy' --do you believe that roboproto stands up without duck-taping it to the pit-leg...?
Batteries smacking the floor could be problematic. If you knock that whole thing over, do you go ahead and compete with five compromised batteries?

As the designer of the Robopromo battery rack, I can tell you that it is quite stable. I have not seen the AndyMark cart in person, so I cannot compare the stability of the two. Our team used 2 of these battery racks for the whole 2014 season and haven't had a problem with them tipping. If you buy one and decide you don't like it, feel free to return it.
