It happened to us last year. Except we'd tip over completely. We eventually had to move the battery forward.
Keep in mind that we haven't seen the rest of their robot design. This battery placement may actually be correcting a weight distribution problem. For example, their design could force the compressor and turret motors to the front to avoid tipping.
