Anti-tip is the lowest priority for 2791. The simplest way to integrate a righting mechanism is to integrate it with the hanger, but the hanger isn't load bearing on our robot. There's no time or resources that wouldn't be better spent elsewhere for a self righting mechanism.

We only expect to go over the bumps maybe twice a match though, and we're not tipping without the help of the 45 degree angle.
Agreed.

And:

Necessarily, how many times must a team cross the bump in a single match?
