Very nice gripper and elevator. I get this weird feeling, though, that an abrupt stop or a bump from behind when you're in the configuration in the first picture would send you over... does it feel tippy at all? Also, what's your distance from left tennis ball to rear right corner right now?
It's a bit tippy all the way up but only at high speeds which it wont be driven at. We also have a few pounds to spare and we may add up to 4 pounds of steel/lead weights down low and then 15 pounds of bumpers. From either tennis ball the the opposite rear is about 72-73 inches which is far under the 80 inch rule
