At both regionals I attended this year (St Louis and Midwest) I saw angled designs. At St. Louis there was a robot that was not made for the intention to tip robots. But when they found out that it was very good at it they did. I told the driver multiple times that this is not "battlebots" and it was totally against GP. We were paired with them twice. Thankfully they got hung up on tetras and didnt have the chance to tip any during our matches. At Midwest the intent was just the opposite. 111 had a suppubly designed robot. There slanted design was used in the exact same way ours was: stability. When they had their tetras up so high, just a tiny nudge would have sent them over. It was just an innovative design and weighed much less than ours. I am totally against the intent to disable a robot, just like the major majority of all FIRST participants.
