Re: More Wheels?

Is it possible (and legal) that you make pneumatics strong enough that you mount a wheel perpendicular to other wheels, then when you want to brake, you gently lift the robot using that wheel, tilting it just ever so slightly, and applying that downward pressure and braking faster?

Imagine sliding your hand over the desk, and the sliding your hand over the desk with a lot of downwards pushing..?
