Just wonderin'...

Yeah... we have plans to help us avoid falling, tho we may just accelerate very slowly
But we have previously hopped whenever we turned, since we have a tank drive, and going thinner this year would make it even worse causing us to fall over sideways anyway. we will see what happens, and if it does work out we will be quite recognizable, as probably the only sideways bot.
