Re: Why go over the bump

If done right you should be able to make your robot drive right over the bar without much robot work. (Track drive works great) then have plenty of weight to add other things like:

Ball shooter

Bridge handler: I say this because you might want to be able to raise, lower or help balance the bridge

Something to play a little defense



I think there will be a lot of robots that will be able to do all this and more. So do not limit yourself too do just one or the other.
