 Recently my wife and I met some mentors from Michigan with their wives at Disney World. It seems that I'm not the only mentor who needs to bribe their wives with vacations before they sign up to mentor FRC for another year... - Mark Holschuh [more] |

Idea for getting over the bumps
Well instead of using the balance ramps, what if we like had pistons on the bottom of the robot that could almost make the robot "hop" over the bumps. Is that allowed?

Re: Idea for getting over the bumps
A rule states that nothing that would damage the floor can be deployed, so this seems unlikely. If a wheel was deployed it could work.

A similar idea was used in 2006 in this video, without damaging the arena. Of course, you probably wouldn't want such a big arm, but similar ideas (getting the first wheel over the bump) were used in the past with success. |

Re: Idea for getting over the bumps
I say the best way to do it is just either have tank treads or have big enough wheels so that the point of impact is below the center of the wheel
