Why climb those little stairs at all, you just need to get around the stationary goal after that...plus the larger step to the bar, go around it. I dont know about 'draaaaaaaging' yourself up there, but hey, whatever works. I also thought those HDP casters on the kickoff bot were pretty clever, seemed to glide nice on the carpet, not too much power to the floor though, and getting up those little stairs was even tricky. There is always treads vs wheels option, what kind of robot are you designing, fast, powerful...seems like fast and agile would suit this year, excited to see as the weeks progress
