Re: Minibot climb rate

With 4" wheels the motors will backdrive easily, the way we get ours down is by putting some long bolts on the bottomside of the robot. next get a pole and attach a ziptie in a large loop at the top, use it to gently pull on the bottom of the minibot and it should backdrive all the way down.
Here is a video of our minibot prototype:
