I thought that this video was cool and I wanted to share it with everyone!

We will be posting some more about our robot this year soon!

A vaguely similar thing happened to us in QF6 at Kentwood. Video (about 1:30 to 1:45), watch the bottom-right robot. We were trying to dislodge a tote when we basically managed a "front" wheelie. Though, we didn't recover quite so gracefully.
