We have not tried it. If it is not perfectly square then it swings around before the climbing motion starts.
According to our drawings and dimensions, Yes.

We are going on swerve drive, hope it will be much better then a mecanum wheel robot, cuz if it doesn't then so much will go down the drain...

When you say vertically are you referring to parking on the peak and then driving sideways across the bump? If that is what you mean then yes it works to do that.
