Re: How are you getting over the 4" bump?

We're driving over one of the bridges to get over the barrier.

Re: How are you getting over the 4" bump?

this (once it finishes uploading) is how we are getting over the bump. Note that we are on a dead battery (running for about 30min) and only running on 3 out of 4 motors

I think this is the most efficient use of limited time. The bridge gets you over the field and scores points. The bump is clearly optional while the bridge is clearly mandatory.

But that's just me.

Or you build something that manipulates the bridge and gets you over the bump too.

Re: How are you getting over the 4" bump?

Our robot's a bit top heavy. So there's no way we can get over the bump. We designed our robot to have rollers that would enable the robot just to 'glide' over the 4" bump but not in practice it seems unlikely since the bump acts like a brick wall. But we are successful in getting over the bridge and balancing! So the bump's one less thing to worry about!
