We flipped during our first two matches because a sensor got unplugged. The problem has been resolved.

We have an autopilot program that reliable finesses our robot over the bump. The gyro sensor that it uses to do this happens to be mounted on a surface that the drive team was picking up the robot by. Our first two matches were played with the gyro unplugged.

We now have a guard around the gyro sensor and are lifting the robot with different surfaces.
