Re: Robot Tipping issues

We made our base >1" under max with the wheel base in the long direction, and when we lay it on its side to do work on the bottom it takes a lot of effort. It also has a very low CG because the elevator is short and compact, and the battery and all 4 gearboxes are as low as we could mount them.
I remember getting knock out of quarter finals last year when our alliance partner tipped over, completely on their own! A problem I was careful to make sure didn't happen to us.
