Re: FRC488 Driving Over the Bump
Wow. That’s really scary. I'm surprised so many people are planning to 'brute force' the bump like that. Even if your CG never goes outside the footprint the sheer momentum of your robot pitching forward may be enough to tip it.

If you left larger gaps between the wheels the transition would be smoother.
