Re: Robot Tipping issues

Our team started off with a robot that couldn't lift more than two totes and a bin and still drive safely. We ended up gouging out the front of our chassis to create a hole large enough for a totes to slide in, and moving everything with mass as far back as possible. Now, with most of our mass at the back of the robot, we can lift more than our robot weighs right now without it tipping.

Given, we've only had minimal practice driving with more than three totes, but I would say that our robot won't tip easily this year.
