Possible self-righting systems

Our team is currently planning on not correcting ourselves if we happen to fall, which is a scary thought to think about, because if we do fall, that pretty much means game over.
I was wondering what possible mechanisms you have thought about to stop yourself from tipping or to self right yourself.
My input: either basic "wheelie bars," that would stop you mid tipping, and then you could then re-straighten your robot by giving your robot acceleration in a certain direction, or by a simple bar that would be placed on one side of a robot and move straight up, so an upside down robot would be self righted by this bar extending itself, although its granted that it would be a very violent overturn of the robot.
