Re: Ramp Angle Survey

The real issue with getting up ramps is as the above posters have pointed out is getting hung up as you go up over the top. The best solution for this is really just making a 6 wheel robot. There are very, very few situations where a 6 wheel robot going pretty straight up a ramp can get stuck. The reason is that the center of gravity or balance point of the robot is over a wheel. If the robot is caught on one of the points between the wheels it will usually tip to one of its wheels and maintain traction.
