We also put HDPE "Sliders" on the front so that we can hit harder and carry ourselves up.

These are what is in the middle. You need to have a smooth movement up the stairs (can't stop and go, stop and go) because you need a little momentum. We chose to use non-powered wheels in front in hopes of not riding on balls really easily.

WEll if your robot has a arm what you could do is swing the arm forward. Thats what we had to do we get our front forks up and over and then we get closer pull up are back forks and swing are arm forward which puts more weight on the front giving the front wheels more grip
