It's all five feet tall. The balls will not knock it over, the top frame is all thinwall aluminum tube, light as air. The frame itself weighs at most 3 or 4 lbs. The front roller frame is another 5 or 6 lbs. All of the rest is in the bottom of the robot. What you can't tell from the picture is that the chassis is only about an inch from the ground, and the battery, big drive motors, transmissions, air tanks, and all of the other weight is within 3 inches of the ground. We know better than to make a robot that will tip when a ball hits it. All the other team would have to do would be to throw a ball at us.

Here's a better picture of the drive module....it's the best I have...
