Height isn't going to be as much of a problem as weight distribution. A robot that is exactly 5 feet tall, but has nothing but PVC and netting above 2 or 3 feet should be just fine. Only those who have motors and launchers (or other heavy items) up high should be worried. Careful driving and knowing the limits of your machine can also help you from getting tipped over. Good luck to all teams!
