Re: Who is going over the bump? (A Pillar really)
Our robot is designed to focus on bridge crossing since we've been able to cross it fairly quickly and easily with a prototype mechanism we built. The plan is to build in the ability to cross the barrier as a last resort but it's not a part of our regular strategy and would probably cause damage to our drivetrain if used on a regular basis (we're using mecanum wheels that we don't want to ram into the barrier repeatedly).
Really we're hoping to end up in a feeder/shooter alliance setup and avoid crossing the barrier as much as possible for all teams involved.

So basically, the advantage of #35 is that it allows you to be sloppier in your design and fabrication. If you pay close attention to these details, you will never have a problem with #25 chain. - Jim Zondag [more]
