 It's a hunch, based on engineering intuition; there are too many hard-to-quantify variables to do any accurate calculations. Looking for some experimental corroboration or refutation. - Ether [more] |

Re: Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels
if you have 4 wheel drive then when the front wheels hit the step the bot wants to do a wheelie, due to the torque on the rear wheels
but once the front wheels are up, and the back wheels hit the step, the bot wants to do the opponsite - the torque on the front wheels wants to push the back wheels down harder on the suface, making it harder for them to lift up onto the step |
