Hey! Team 612 played 8 QP matches(apposed to the 7 matches the other 61 teams @ VCU played before semi-finals), and we didn't once fall over =)

I'd like to think we were 'un-flipable' with 110 pounds, almost perfectly balanced around the robot(except for the 15 pound wedge)

Not to mention our ground clearence was ~1 inch with interior wheels(so we dont 'ride' up a robot =)




Other then that, I think most robots flipped =) Question is, can they get back up? =) Lol we can't, but we wern't designed to allow any room for 'flippage' =)

I only saw 1 team successfully do that, Grats to Sparky/Team 384 @ VCU Regional, too bad that's only a 1-way flip recovery arm =p
