That’s a rather arbitrary statement. Just because a robot is tall doesn't mean its COG is high.

The top part of the robot can be built very light.


I'f this game turns out to be like 2003, where the actual task is too difficult for most teams to accomplish (controlling and kicking the balls). I foresee low robots, with scoops scoring most of the balls by pushing them under the tunnels.
