Re: Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels
Our team dropped some caster wheels off the back of the robot in such a way that they lift the rear of it of the ground. As the front wheels go up, the distance between the casters (attached to the rear of the frame) and the floor changes. Resulting, the robot rides on the casters instead of the back wheels when it straddles the step. This raises the height of the back wheels and allows them to climb easier. We also put HDPE "Sliders" on the front so that we can hit harder and carry ourselves up.
PM me if you need any clarification. Its a really easy process.
