Re: Bridges and Mecanum Wheels

From what I can tell from your video (Thanks by the way!), you seemed to have enough traction on the polycarb to climb, but what about being pushed? If you were to have a pushing contest on the bridge, would you slide? I am worried about the traction if when balancing, and we get pushed a little too far, and fall off the other side...

As a sidenote, your motors were direct drive nanoboxes? And those were backdriving as you slide down the ramp?
