I'll try not to go into too much of a rant here, but here's my two cents on the whole thing:

1. Yes, tipping should be expected and taken into consideration during the design process.

2. The line between a defensive maneuver and intentional tipping/robot destruction is a fine and fuzzy one. During the course of the Chicago event(not just during our rounds,) I saw several "defensive plays" whose sole purpose seemed to be to tip the other machine.



: Does anybody else see this?
: why would first make it a requirement to have it 8 feet in the air if they didnt want to see robots tip.Cause if something is that high up with a little base it's going to fall with little force acted upon it.
