The safety shield to protect the components in the robot from external contact and from accidentally retaining a ball if it lands on top of the robot, will be mounted on pivoting joints one one side of the robot. This shield will have a cross bar that has a piston attached to it. Extending the piston will allow access to the components inside and will flip the robot back over should the need arise.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
