Re: Tipping over.

It mainly depends on the calibur and foresight of the given team...a ten foot high bar requires a ten foot long arm to reach it...that, for all you science buffs out there, will make your center of gravity very very very high...causing tips...the one twist that has really caught this years challenge is the steps...wheels up steps is not the greatest combination in the world...this causes many of the falls that you saw...its not uncommon for a robot to flip...however i think that the nature of this years game tends to attract such falls
