Re: Turning on the bridge

Our team has a mechanum (AM 8") drive train this year, and we are easily able to turn on the bridge while maintaining balance. However, we have found that it has been difficult for other robots to push us up sideways, despite our omni-directional drivetrain. It is tough to do.
