Stability for one. Keeping your CG closer to your drive base should result in a more stable robot. Less tippy.

Stack security for another. It may be easier to design a system within your robot to keep tote/containers from falling over when moving about.

Greg,

Do you know if this was designed with one or the Bimba Cylinders that are available to us? We are mentoring a rookie team and this looks like a great option to get them started! Thanks!
