Go to Post So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year. - Mr V [more]

Re: Anti-tip or Self-Righting Mechanisms?

Not a mechanism, but fair enough. "Everyone" is going for that, hopefully.

Anti-tip is the lowest priority for 2791. The simplest way to integrate a righting mechanism is to integrate it with the hanger, but the hanger isn't load bearing on our robot. There's no time or resources that wouldn't be better spent elsewhere for a self righting mechanism.

We only expect to go over the bumps maybe twice a match though, and we're not tipping without the help of the 45 degree angle.
