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!
