Question
why should the center of mass be kept low when designing a robot for pulling tasks?
to reduce the robots weight
to improve the robots stability
to make the robot taller
to increase the robots speed
The center of mass affects an object's stability. A lower center of mass means the robot is less likely to tip over during pulling tasks. Weight is determined by mass and gravity, not center - of - mass height. Making the robot taller would raise the center of mass (opposite of the goal here). Speed is related to motors, gears, etc., not center - of - mass height.
