Our robot has three wheels this year and we’ve got a lot of tipping. We were wondering if the rules permitted a sort of low friction balancing pad to keep our robot from tipping over.
We have frame edges that touch the ground when it tips and with the balancing pad sitting slightly above the floor it will prevent the edges of the frame from destroying the field. We aren’t looking for an advantage, just a way to keep our robot from causing destruction.
i would just use the rover wheels to serve this purpose
We’ve only got 1 1/2 days until ship. We only have ONE extra. However, we did consider it and it would be best, just no time.
there’s always enough time, you just have to stop talking about it and get it done:D

Better use that other rover wheel.
Thanks for the help. Now that we know we need it, we can go ahead and do it.
