Re: FRC488 Driving Over the Bump

Has anyone considered putting rubber grommets around their axles where they mount to the frame to reduce impact forces slightly? They'd have to be pretty stiff to keep the chains from coming off, but 1/8" of "give" on a high impact would be a good step towards shock reduction.

Edit: "Brute force the bump?".... YEAH!! I want to see robots get air off those things! There's going to be more than one team who drives over them at high speed just for fun! I'm going to watch some old Dukes of Hazzard reruns for inspiration!
