I posted an opinion that I assumed would be fairly controversial. However, I think it was too buried away for anyone to see it. I'm curious how other people feel on this issue though so please read...

The theory of a robot in the corner becoming more secure by raising it's center of gravity way up high is flawed. A robot should have to take certain precautions to make that a less fragile position. Perhaps FIRST should have made it possible to latch on to the field border. Then they wouldn't have had to outlaw tipping. All I'm saying is that there are ways to allow robots to stay upright on their own merit, instead of giving them a 'get out of jail free' card. You know what I mean?

What do you guys think?

-Daniel
