We were in a pushing match with another strong robot at the VCU regional in the quarter final. Both robots simply pushed so hard that they flipped. I don't know why our driver didn't back off, but things happen quickly when you have a lot of power and a lot of traction. Our robot can do a pretty good wheelie from a standing start, and the CG is probably not even 2 ft. off the ground, and weight is almost centered over the wheels that lift. The tall structures on both robots didn't help matters.
