Re: Tipping over.

Prettymuch all games had a danger element to them when it came to tipping over. This year has the stairs and bar, last year was the "hill", 2001 had the teeter-totter and the 4x4 in the middle, 2000 had the ramp and bar, 1999 had the puck and raising your catch 8 feet, 1998 you had to raise up pretty high to deposit a ball on the 3-point rung, 1997 had the putting an inner tube on top of the spinning goal being a tipping hazard, 1995 had the ramp, 1994 had the tower. Plus, up through 1997, it was perfectly legal to tip an opponent. Really, barring a robot ramming into you with your CoG too high, the only game that had no tipping danger was 2002 (and I suppose 1992 & 1993 when the robots were too small). So yeah, tipping over is prettymuch expected in a FIRST game. The challenge is avoiding it.
