Re: Resourceful Thinking

one thing that surprised my team at the BAE regional is what our CG allows us to do. by tradition, we always use 7-8" wheels which do not allow us to climb the 6" step. However, this year we found out that with our extremely low CG (roughly 6" off the ground) we are at least able to casually drive off of the 6" step

. this is very confusing to the casual observer due to the fact that we have a robot that fills a good portion of the dimensions that we are allowed. However, about 90% of our total weight resides in the base part of the bot.
