Thats one of the advantages of a six wheeled robot, given that the wheels are aligned with three on each side, for even if one pair loses traction, there are still two pairs in contact, and thus the robot will not end up getting hung up on the top of the ramp. On the bottom, it acts identical to a four wheeled robot.
