Re: Bridges and Mecanum Wheels
Team 2084 just tested out 120-lb robot from last year on a full-scale, functional bridge a mentor made for us. We could barely crabwalk (move laterally) up it, but the robot is really imbalanced, so that's not as large of an issue. The bridge was also surfaced with fiberboard, which at after a rough test we determined to have about 1/3 the CoF as HPDE like Lexan.
We'll also be getting a 48"x88" HDPE board soon, so we'll resurface the ramp and run the test again, but I can conclude that mecaums won't have too much trouble on the bridge.
