Re: Macanum ability to climb ramps

FWIW, I recall a video on the Airtrax website a few years back that showed Mecanum wheels climbing stairs. The key is, as has already been pointed out, ensuring that you don't high center, and that your rollers have enough friction to make it up (where "enough" depends very much on the dimensions of your wheel base).
