This is very true.. that is why team 118 had 2 arms on our robot chainzilla during the 2005 competiton. We had noticed after getting a certain height off the ground that more weight on one side made the robot tip over more so we added a second arm to balance the weight and always made sure that both arms had a tetra on them.
