If the trailer you are attached to tips over...

We all know the rules on the Orbit Balls scoring for tipped trailers, but what about the robot interaction???

This brings up a good question in my opinion. If you tip over enough to make your trailer tip with you from ramming or collisions, or if a trailer is rammed & tips, but not your bot which is attached to it, what the heck kind of stresses are going to be on that hitch & will part of your robot be destroyed in the process if you don't shield that area adequately??

And, another thought, if you tip along with your trailer, will you be given a penalty for anything?
(I would hope not to this one, but Hmm...)
