No rule book quote, but I can agree with the inspector that vertical batteries aren't safe. Looking at that robopromo, it looks to me like a bad idea to have that many heavy items on such a small footing.

Even the people that bought the Andymark cart say its 'tippy' --do you believe that roboproto stands up without duck-taping it to the pit-leg...?

Batteries smacking the floor could be problematic. If you knock that whole thing over, do you go ahead and compete with five compromised batteries?
