My Teamates were nice enough to chime in and respond to the other questions, (thanks Mike!). But this is simple to answer, if you havn't see "El Toro", we have an extreemly low center of gravity. We are actually about 1 1/2' tall and have a ground clearance of less than 1/4" (which is why it would be hard to get up the incline).
Yea, if we were to go up an incline like that i was thinking that we would have to set the bot already on the incline.
