Re: Mecanum on the bridge?!
Our team tested our mecanum wheels from last year on the bridge and it was able to go over it perfectly. As for the bump, I think that would be only be possible with shocks.

Nope, that was another thing we tested on Monday besides balancing the bridge. A robot can go over with 8" wheels. Granted, I have no idea how it would react to slamming straight into it full speed ahead, but then again, I have no idea how any other drive train would do in comparison as well.

Much better, for the most part.
