Any robot is flippable from bumper to bumper contact

I know the poofs got flipped earlier that year too from bumper to bumper contact. If there is enough traction between the robots and contact is made a couple inches above the ground someones going to tip.
Yes, but that has NOTHING to do with bots designed to tip such as ramp bots. If you called what happened in that video "intentional design of the bot to tip other bots", than you might as well just ban going faster than 1 ft/sec.... and even than bots might still tip.
