Lots of good advice here, but this has to be the best I read. Just because you don't plan on dealing with the bump or plan to be careful around it, others might not do the same. They might take you to the bump or push you around while your on it. Self-righting devices could become key to some regionals that are known for their aggressive defense while others will rarely see a robot tip. Guess its good to know what to expect, if only we ever really could.
