Lunacy Weight Distribution

One of the first things I thought when reading about this game is that high polar moment of inertia -- while good for directional stability -- is going to be very bad for maneuverability in this game. I thought that keeping the robot's mass centered and only judiciously adding weight at the ends would be the ticket and then I remembered The Trailer. How are teams going to keep the tail from wagging the dog? How do you distribute mass on the robot to counteract the action of the trailer? I'm not in FRC this year, and so haven't really worked on this, but now I've got me curious. How are you all going to handle this?

Of course, I could just wait until March when All Will Be Revealed.
