Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.

I know that this was called a number of times. One that sticks in my mind was 45 being flagged at IRI because their gripper got snagged on the rack, and while backing out they went nearly horizontal. I remember robots with long arms being flagged after tipping at regionals, too, and I expect that to continue this year if a team doesn't e-stop first.
