Re: pic: Team 1592 Lowered Position
We placed as much of our weight as low as possible to keep from having issues with CG. We went to a pre-season competition over in Kissimmee on Saturday and she ran great. it did seem to come close to tipping on only one occasion entirely due to driving into the overpass, but when this occured our rear bumper acted like a wheelie-bar and we rocked back onto all 6 wheels. we were able to drive around the corner at near top speeds with the ball at hurdle-height and had no problems.
