At the risk of double-posting, I figured I ought to let the record reflect some actual testing on center of gravity.

We ran the robot every single match at Palmetto (9 that counted, plus quite a few practice matches). Once or twice, the weight on the front end would make the robot tip forward, but a combination of catching on the kitbot frame and some slick driving kept the robot planted well enough.
