Re: How well does this work on carpet?
I am not familar with that particular robot but I believe it must have been from 2004 and designed to retract those front legs to get up on the platforms. The biggest problem I see would be if the air cylinder rams got bent you would be screwed because you couldn't retract the legs. I would be very careful about just a simple rod like that with a skid on the end for this reason. As far as a slick Delrin, etc. skid I think many teams have used them successfully over the years on the carpet.
