Re: Self-righting

Tipping will be a very common occurance this year:
1. Because of so many tall robots
2. Because of the steep angle of the ramp
3. Because of the physical nature of this year's game.

We tried to combat this by building a robot that is under 3 feet tall but there is no garuntee that we won't get tipped over (I remember at IRI last year after Rush Robotics arm exploded intp pieces they took it off and just ran thier hulk on the floor for the next match and they still ended up on thier back (I think they ran up a wedge bot).
