Re: Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels
I have a similar question about the smaller wheels:
We were considering replacing our dysfunctional swerve drive with a wheel setup that might actually give us the mobility to perform on the field. We were wondering if it might be feasible to, at the same time, climb up the steps. So my question is, can we manage to clim the 6 inch step with 8 inch wheels, given that we have a 3 inch foot? I know that theoretically, we should be able to, because with the foot down, the center of our 8 inch wheels are over 7 inches off the ground, and with a little shove, we should be up. I was wondering if anyone actually tested this themselves, as this would help us decide between what replacement we should select.
