falling over
We fell over twice at the New England Regional, but thanks to our arm driver we were able to right ourselves both times.

I believe there was one time you guys fell over sideways and were unable to right yourselves- you were stuck on your side and your arms' range of motion prevented you from nudging back on track.

we've never flipped. I think that having interior wheels helps alot - most of the flipping i've seen happens when a robot rides itself up on-top of another robot. It is much less frequent that a team will ram another robot and flip it.

You can tip us but you can't knock us down.
We are over 4' tall and we have stayed up in every match. To see proof of this watch the regional finals. We even managed to drive on 704 and 118 without falling over. We had a couple close calls but were saved by our caster wheels and beveled front. Good luck at Nats  |

lol Clark (696) almost flipped us in the semis at SoCal, even though we are like 10 inches tall with 2-3 inch ground clearance, not to mention we were on the same alliance. Our arm might have been able to self right, but luckily we didn't have to try :-)

Cyber Blue's robot is very top heavy and we have had to many close calls to remember. We've learned a few tricks at keeping the robot upright, but unfortunately we weren't so lucky at our second regional in Arizona. We fell over in the qualifying round but went on to win the match with little damage to the robot.

our arm in the down position acts as a perfect wheelie bar so we can't be flipped over from the front or back...
