Re: Have you balanced 2 robots yet

SO, here's what I'd worry about with that scenario. The other bot has to be able to get the bridge down by them selves. Otherwise you can't be behind them to push them up. What if they can't get the bridge down.
Try putting the other bot at the bottom of the ramp sideways with you above them. If the other bot is omni wheeled or something like that you may need to chock the wheels.
Secondly, what if they have a low bumper and you have a high or visa verse. Can you still push them? Remember they are tilted and you are flat. I haven't really taken a firm look at this yet, so the answer may be, obviously yes.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it...
