Re: 2 bots v. 3 bots Trailer question

Furthermore, it would be pushed and knocked over the playing field, likely falling over at some point due to its two wheels, and causing problems for everyone.
The trailers didn't seem to have any real problems staying upright at the Manchester Kickoff event.

They just kind of sit there chilling, like "Hey I'm a trailer, where's my robot?"
