There was a team in Oklahoma who did...can't recall their number off the top of my head...

Both 470 and 3175 here in Michigan could do it consistently. Unfortunately, neither are going to the Championship, but it was fun to watch as a scout.

We (team 422) were pulling them way back in week three :cool: . As head scout, I heard from Team 900 that they were going to attempt it, and told my driver, who decided the wouldn't beat us to it. We rode the wheelie balance train to the finals at VCU, only to lose when our alliance captain tipped, two matches in a row.

The other factor is where your CG is located; if it's centered, it's going to be substantially harder to wheelie up, but if it's close to one end of your bot, it's going to be easier.

If you're actually wheelie-ing up, and not using something to prop the front up, don't forget that you have to go away from the bridge, then slam forwards to wheelie up.
A slightly higher than normal CG and torquey drivetrain helps too.

Team 1248 did a wheelie to get on the bridge. They were really successful at it
