Suct's like a fox
A well engineered robot (which this certainly appears to be) will be impossible to move in this situation. I am 99% sure that they not only suction to the floor, but that they pull up on the suctioned wings in order to create a HUGE tractive force. That's one reason why those wings are so thick and stiff.
200 lbs. x 2 wings x 1.5ish c.o.f. on the treads = UNMOVEABLE Other designs that I have seen deploy suction cups or feet don't pull up. This really does nothing except give more traction to *other* robots pushing you from below. Good luck, have fun, Dan |
