Re: pic: 968 about to rampcamp

Both robots can go up forward without tipping. The real reason we go up backwards is because when driving up forward when the robot reaches the top of the incline, it tends to shimmy back and forth and lose traction for a couple seconds until it finally hauls itself over.

Going up backwards is a much smoother/quicker process.
