Going over 6 inch step with 12 inch wheels

[Max Lobovsky]

We have the same situation and the two best pieces of advice i could give you is defenitley lower the pressure of the back tire significantly (like down to 15) and use the following technique when driving: get the front wheels up, backup as far as you can without the front wheels falling off, throw the joysticks forward. Be careful when using this technique for the second platform as it is easy to go to fast and go over the other side.

We had the same issue, with more mass in the rear to counter the Big ball when on the arm. Our bot can best be described as looking like a Bobcat. Arm piviots at the rear. The only way up (and we never did it in a match) is to extend the arm after the front wheels are on the platform, shifting some mass to the front tires. Then it climbed very smooth. BTW we are using the 3" tires on the kit wheels which makes a 14" wheel when all is done. This is a tire and tube that comes from Skyway.
