Reducing shock to the electronics is a major benefit, but the main reason we went down this path was because of the improved control the driver has going over this terrain. With the straight pneumatic wheels on a KOP chassis, we could have easily came out of the defenses off by +- 45 degrees in either direction, in addition to the massive pitching up and down that occurs on some of them, such as the rock wall. Hopefully the rocking mount for the front wheels will help keep all the wheels on the ground as we breach.
