We considered a device using pneumatic cylinders to throw out "outriggers" of some kind, when commanded by the rate gyro tilt sensor. But this was in the early days just after kickoff. Just getting a machine together was rough this year, without the time for fancy stuff like that. We ended up with a machine that should be pretty tough to tip, just because we managed to keep the CG very low. We are pretty close to the weight limit, and I would guess that about 110 lbs of it is below a 9" height from the floor. Our heaviest single components are 4 cast iron timing drive pulleys (.5" pitch, 32 tooth, 2" wide), mounted in the 4 corners of the platform.
