Re: Holonomic drive and ramp

The only issue with this sort of design, besides the obvious dificulty of tilting your wheel mountings is that you won't know for sure until you build the robot. Its very, very, risky to go into such a complex task thinking that it will maybe, just possibly get up if we just hook the top. I'm not saying that it wouldn't work, just that I don't know and that nobody will for sure until you build it.

So think about the game and decide how necessary getting up that ramp is for your strategy. If its not that important than maybe this is something you could try.

Of course the actual construction once again would be really, really hard.
