Re: Breakaway question: getting on platform with meccanum?

Yeah, I see now how it really wouldn't work. Hmmm, well it was an interesting thought.

What I meant by the lip was just the edge/top/corner. Because it's a right angle, as apposed to, say, a vertical plane, it's something that a hook or catch can sort of grab on to. Think of a foot or large omni wheels grabbing onto the edge of the platform by their rollers.
