Re: How to Built A Robot that Doesn't tip (FIRST History)
even if you build your bot with a low CG and centered properly, it is still possible to tip, but as mentioned before, its always an amazing crowd please when you are able to right yourself, or even better (heh) get your teammate to. Im not sure if the SOAP footage is the best for this, but check our Archimedes field QF 2.1, wildstang somehow tipped over, and their coach immediately told us to try and right them with our triangular back end. we were skeptical at first because we had originally rode up on balls going backwards, and there were alot surrounding wildstang, but we moved our way over there and tipped them back up. amazing to watch =D.
