114 of all people should know that being tall doesn't necessarily mean poor CG.
It looks to be 1/8th. However, I don't know for sure, which is why I asked the team if they had done CG calculations. And we very well know that being tall doesn't mean bad CG; our 07 bot was 11 feet tall, and could tip to 60 degrees and still stand up.


This drive base looks very solid. Think the poster could take a screenie with Inventor's CG icon in it, maybe a few views slapped into a post could really clear it up for all of us.
