Re: Calculating Wheel Size To Climb
My team is wanting to get up the platform on the side in order to bypass the "small" space where the goals are. Is it possible to have a two wheel drive in the front with casters in the back and still be able to get up the incline? One of our team's teachers said that it was possible but im having doubts about it bottoming out. The person that designed the drive system or body says that the robot can and/or will be 6in or below from the floor. Im just the Arm Captain, but am I freaking out or what?
