Re: Tipping over.

At VCU, our robot started to go up the steps and started to drive right up the pvc goal posts to fil over. In past matches the posts only diverted the robot around the goal. The differance was we had added a high friction surface (a poped 2x ball) to the arm.

I think one of the major advantages of some teams was the ability to right themselves. our robot for instance couldn't do anything on its back. I did see, however, several good robots that could use their arms to corect their poistion.
