Wow I'm surprized this isn't a finalist. Yeah the rocket blew up but the robot worked good it looked like. Maybe it's because there are no step-by-step instructions.

If it is tipping over, the tilt sensor regonize that and the wheel legs turn in the opposite direction.

The grain of one engine had a crack, that's why it exploded.
