Your wrong on that, if the wheels are placed out to the outer extreme of the frame it's possible for them to climb. Also i would like to ask all teams, please, please have at least a minimum of .5 inches of clearance under your robot(including bumpers). More than .5 inches is preferable but at least .5 including bumpers.
