Hopefully it'll work as well on the steel/polycarb versions.

Re: 4585 Wheelie
Not sure whether to stand up and clap or grab a paper bag and breathe deeply...

That is pretty awesome. I hope your wheels, the robot, and the defenses survive. Nicely done, and have a good season!

Re: 4585 Wheelie
That's not going to work quite the same with Bumpers on it. It should still wheelie but, will it wheelie enough? I'm also scared for your rollers, you are likely going to break a few doing that.

Re: 4585 Wheelie
You also gotta consider the dividers between defenses. If you wheelie and are misaligned and hit one of those, you might tip all the way back.

Re: 4585 Wheelie
WOW, that's brave. I never like to leave anything to chance, and that is one heck of a risky maneuver!

Word of advice: take a page from the 2010 robot of FRC 86, Team Resistance. They were prone to flipping when they went over the bump, so they pushed their center of gravity as low as it would go--and then put an arched shape on top of their bot so that it would just keep on rolling until they landed right back on their wheels!

You're going to try doing this with bumpers?


I too like to live dangerously.
