I think you misunderstand my intention - I'm not considering tipping another robot. I'm thinking along the lines of a backhoe with the support struts to lift the tires off the ground so the machine will not roll when digging. Something to steady the robot and render it quite immobile, without wavering from vertical.
Anyway, it's an outside-the-box type of thing - we are not considering it for our own bot (I'm not gonna subject our second-year team to the world of pneumatics quite yet).
That's one of the wonderful properties of this year's game - a team could build a robot that is very aggresive both on multiple options of offense and defense, rather than concentrating on one aspect of the game.
