Re: Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels
My teams robot has 4 16in wheels and we found that putting extra weight on the front helps. Also, we keep them all a little deflated but it took a while to find what the optimum amount of air was. Maybe during practice rounds you could experiment with the pressure a little; make sure to have the same amount on either side or you won't be able to drive straight!
