Re: Ramp help

if the problem is traction i would suggest putting on the innovation first tread to gain some extra pull. you could also gear down your wheels by putting on a bigger size of gear on the actual wheels. you would loose a little speed but gain the torque needed. if you have the weight and some wheels, omni-wheels may or may not help. they could pull up the ramp depending on the situation. does that help at all?
