Nasty Pickle Glitch

The glitch was discovered by Firebeetle, named after his bot Nasty Pickle.
The glitch occurs when you have a small chassis and adding a free axle with a component on it. The bot will glitch out of the arena or tumble uncontrollably.
Firebeetle's version uses a Fatboy wheel (that unusually causes damage). Venko built a beetleweight version that has 8 axles and uses pointy tips on 20cm extenders.
A similar form can also happen when you have a really tiny chassis and motors attached directly on it.
Banned in most if not all tournaments despite not being used on the immense majority of robot building.
