In QF3-3, we hit 435 with a tetra and our arm just after we snagged the tetra from an automatic loader. We were just driving out of the loading zone (maybe still just in) when we made contact with 435 on their extended arms.

I wouldn't attribute the tipping to our ramped body, we just hit them high. A no-no in FIRST's rulebook.

Dave,

Thanks for clearing that up.

Very interesting. That gives us another thing to watch for next year: hitting robots high with arms.
