We tipped a TON of robots at the Phoenix, AZ regional. We never once got a penalty or DQ (we didn't get any awards either  ) Our robot, however, does not have a wedge. Our CG is so low, and most everyone else's is so high, and we hit so hard that tipping is possible even without a wedge. But, because our robot was not designed to tip other robots, it is allowed. Fair, no. Awesome, oh yeah!
