Team 1296 Mecanum Bump Test

What I am worried about is that the wheels with lose its strength after hitting the steel bump a million times. Also you got over a wooden bump do you think there might be a difference between the steel and the wooden because they are two completely different materials?

We are thinking the wheels will hold up but the metal bump is worrisome.

It was meant as the 'royal you' as every time this topic of polymer load/pressure sensitivity comes up someone inevitably goes: "well that's not what my physics teacher says!" and I might be a little tired of making the same points over and over

As a physics teacher, I use the disclaimer that the line "...but it's really more complicated than that!" is implicit at the end of every explanation.
