Re: Ramp help

Hmmm to summarize the problem: You can't go up the ramp forwards because the robot flips. You can't go up backwards because your wheels slip right? And you have 6 wheels....the rear 4 wheels are drive wheels and the front wheels are slightly off the ground as "idlers".

My suggestion is if possible to get a running start at the ramp, running backwards so that momentum will carry you far enough up so that your drive wheels gain the top. Another method is to allow an alliance partner to boost you up (again going backwards).


Good luck!
