Re: Calculating Wheel Size To Climb
We know their is much more than wheel size but is does help in several ways. Higher clearance and more lift by an indivual wheel. We are testing 8 wheeled designs. 3 driven and 1 not. From are test we might be able to use eight but it is much smoother with 10 for us. and a inch in height will not through our center of gravity off much. Using four wheel drive you could climb the step with two wheels. The robot would have to have a lot of clearance and large wheels, say bigger than 12". Two wheel drive with casters would be hard, it might be possible but I wouldn't reccomend it.
