Re: Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels

It takes finness. Our bot has the same setup as you described. 4 kit wheels. In the beginning all the robot did was bounce for the back 2 wheels to get up. Practice was neeeded (during practice rounds lol) to climb the step. I start off slow with the front 2 wheels on then gun it as the back two wheels are about to hit the paltform. That or the wieght distribution, or the "bump" wheels in the middle.
