Large Pneumatic Wheels Vs. the Rebound Rumble Barrier
For the last couple of days our team has been debating about which size wheels would be most effective to traverse the barrier with. Since large pneumatic wheels are a serious consideration, we decided to test their effectiveness by driving our Breakaway Robot over the bump, which uses large pneumatic wheels. The robot has a six wheel drive using twelve inch pneumatic wheels with a quarter inch drop on the center wheels. We took a video of the test, and here’s the link if you are interested in seeing our results:

Active control of game pieces throughout all stages of your robot's interactions with it is critical. Never let gravity/inertia control the game piece. If you want a game piece to go somewhere, you MAKE it go there. - Jeremy Germita [more]
