Re: UnEven Floor???

We used a holonomic system last year, and managed to pretty much conteract the bumps in the floor and the loader platform by using high traction, neoprene "rollers" (we used the Andymark Trick Wheels). Additionally we made sure all 4 of our wheels were co-planar, so that they would all 4 be in contant on a level surface.
So, unless your planning on tackling the ramp with a holonomic system (which could be done with a custom active suspension, but would be very very difficult), you shouldnt need anything special.
