Nice work; looks like it will score at least 301 points!

I'd love to see a little more about the self-righting works and how damage is avoided when the robot tips over (that's a lot of energy that has to be dissipated). How will this avoid problems with the rule about extending more than 15" beyond the frame perimeter?

A minor plywood suggestion: offset the screws in the tabs and slots so that one side of the nut is flush with the plate that it's pressed into. The change is insignificant structurally, but speeds up assembly, as a hammer can be used to install and align the nuts, rather than each having to be inserted and precisely centered with pliers.
