Re: If the trailer you are attached to tips over...

I would have to say that is at the discretion of the refs. If they feel that you were driving unsafe which caused the tippage I would give a penalty. But if for some reason you slightly rock and you end up tipping over, if you disable your own robot I would not give you a penalty myself. But if you don't disable right away or you don't I would give you a penalty. But all in all, it would be in the discretion of the refs and their opinion.

Re: If the trailer you are attached to tips over...

If you look at the trailer print (official from first) it appears their hitch allows for rolling. It will not shear anything.

With all robot parts staying in the envelope, I don't see how the refs will even call a penalty - harsh bumper-to-bumper action is expected in the game.
