Shipping a robot without testing it, now that is something the Miracle Workerz would never do.
That would mean we would have to fix all the bugs in the pit like last year...
wait I mean like I saw other teams do last year, our bot was flawless (ya thats the ticket).
Center of Gravity was a major concern from Day One. That is how GeroniMOE got the working name "Tippy the Wonder MOEbot". However, we designed the bot with an impressively low cg and it hasn't been a problem. GeroniMOE has preformed some pretty crazy maneuvers (mostly during autonomous testing) without tipping over.
