Re: Robots Tipping Over
166 is proud to say that they haven't tipped since week 1 in 2006. After the regional, we made modifications to lower our center of gravity and havn't tipped since.
Our 2007 and 2008 robots featured mecanum wheels and an extremely heavy drive chassis (70-80 pounds) so neither of those ever tipped.
A total of seven official competitions and even more off-season events without tipping.
I made a point somewhere here about how teams shouldn't put so much effort into making a light chassis. Put more effort into making your manipulator light.
