Re: Self-righting

We were joking around one day about how we could just tip ourselves onto the ramp if we wanted the points at the end of the match, since we were so top heavy. Now that i think about it it wouldn't have been a bad idea, easier than raising our chassis to go up the stupid thing.

Re: Self-righting

probably a very stupid idea but if you put a pneumatic cylinder on each side if the robot tipped over you could use the pneumatic to self right the bot.

i just thought of this because I remember the self righting robots on robot wars and they used pneumatics to right themselves
