Re: How to Built A Robot that Doesn't tip (FIRST History)
We've had a fairly tall robot the last couple years coming close to the 5' each year. Last year we tipped twice but could have went more but had a great driver. We had a beveled front that made it near impossible to go over forward but or weakness was backwards when on the ramp.
This year we tipped a couple times at regionals backwards but added anti-tipping poles on the back which worked great except we snapped them and tipped once we the opposing robot ran into us autonomously and then turned while going forward while under us. This broke the poles and sent us over. But other than that they worked great.
