Re: Macanum ability to climb ramps

Our team was also throwing around this idea, as it would make the robot easy to maneuver/block balls from getting into your goals and to get to balls.

this is the major deciding point on our robot; Do we want to be able to go over the ramps, or do we want more maneuverability and be forced to fit under the passageway!

Have any teams tested Macanum wheels and their ability to make it over the "Hump"?
