Re: pic: 696 Unveiled!
Hello from the beautiful Phoenix Arizona!
The tipping you witnessed today was the result of a poorly coordinated functions test. We excel at climbing the ramp. In the practice round, we wanted to try it multiple times so we had to go down. We are unstable going down, but we are good going up. In the real match, we won't be coming down.
The potential for tipping is due to the fact that we drive wide and short. But, it is an absolute dream to drive. Incredibly maneuverable. Wicked fast in high gear. Goes dead straight when told to. I helped design the drive system, and it even surprises me how smooth it is.
We'll see you tomorrow. Donut, I want to meet you.
