Center of Mass question

What do you guys think: If we have a foot print that fills up all 28x38 inches with wheels pretty close to the corners, is a 5 foot vertically center of mass too high? How tipsy would our robot be? The COM is actually almost dead center on the robot on the horizontal plane, but still, 5 feet is a lot isn't it?
