Re: Who is going over the bump? (A Pillar really)

My team is planning to go over the bump. Scratch that, we can go over the bump. We just tested out drive train last night, and at speed it can cross!

In our brainstorming session, we concluded that going over the bump would be critical to traversing the field quickly and to avoiding potential bridge defenders. That said, we might still prefer to cross the bridge to be a bit more gentle on the robot, and to avoid the chance of getting stuck on top of the bump.
