Re: Examples of when it is not advantageous to be lightweight

When I was on 766 we made our robots as heavy as possible in 2006 and 2007 so we would not tip going up/down the ramps. I saw a lot of robots tip in 2006 especially because they were too top heavy. A common tactic that year was to shove top heavy robots up your own ramp on defense so they would risk tipping trying to come down the ramp during teleop.
