Re: TRIPLE BALANCE
I was worried there, and then it just kinda happened. I couldn't believe it, and it was really great to see! I too thought they would be knocked out!

If you look closely 148 is hanging one set of wheels off. need at least 1 widebot (or longbot) that can hang off enough to give you balance room.

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE
We designed for that, our center of gravity is towards the back of our robot. We can hang our front wheels off

From what I saw, it looked like 922 is a narrow robot with mecanums, which allowed 148 to push them up sideways.

Here's another shot courtesy of B. Nain Photography.

EDIT: And they just pulled it off again to beat the 488/118 alliance 63-39!

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE
After watching the second balance, their balancing mechanism is doing the load of the work. That's some great engineering, simply being wide isn't enough.
