Re: Ramp help

looking at the side view, i would say move the middle wheel forward to enable more traction towards the front. this would also allow you rear wheels to catch the robot from tipping backwards, like a wheelie bar. this means cutting off that support piece in front of the middle wheel. maybe move that support piece between the two back wheels. so, move the skyway wheels as far forward as possible and move the middle wheel forward according to that. i don't know. that is my best suggestion so far.
