I guess you just have never been to Davis before

last year our bot was on it's side many times...so this year we built a mostly untippable robot.
I just watched the QF 1-1 match, where you and 100 both were tipped. It looks to me like both of those robots are indeed prone to tipping. They have relatively narrow, short drive bases, and wheels/treads that are not very stable. Plus 997 is sort of top heavy, even though your ramp material is light weight, there is a lot of it, and it extends up pretty far when the ramps are not deployed.
Thanks again to you, 100, and 1458 for the most exciting QF series we've ever seen! Team 1726 wishes you all the best in Atlanta...
