I am struggling with why having a high CoG would prevent you from flipping in the event of a collision.
If anything, lowering the traction of your wheels would seem to do the most good since it would prevent your entire robot from becoming a lever arm rooted in the ground.
For those of you that think the kit chassis is too weak... It is tough stuff. Those of you that say it is too weak, just do not know what you are talking about. - Paul Copioli [more]
