Re: Flipped Trailer

It probably won't be disabled by the referees, unless <G30> Arena Damage is occurring. However, I personally would strongly advise that if a trailer tips over, the team towing the trailer should hit the E-stop just to make sure. <G31> allows this, and the reason I say that is because a 150 lb robot towing a 30+ lb trailer that probably has a much higher coefficient of friction than the robot does is pretty close to incapacitated.
