Ah, cool. Just a thought. Any worries about being bumped by passing robots adding to the tipping? Chances of falling on your back are probably slim, though. Hah, what am I saying? Your robot can withstand a rugby player kick - more than I can say about myself. 
Good luck, and I'm excited to see you guys in Atlanta!

A mathmatician, a physicist, and an engineer were all given a red rubber ball and told to find the volume.
The mathmatician carefully measured the diameter and evaluated a triple integral.
The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement.
The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table.
