Chris, the bot looks good! Strangely enough, we lost the ability to climb over the bump between ship day and our first regional. We think the reason is two fold for us. The first part of it is because our drive chains are routed in such a way that does not allow for proper chain wrap on the center wheels so the chains can jump under high stress (cresting the bump). The second part may have been due to the way the carpet was mounted on our practice bumps, because apparently our carpet was mounted one way and the carpet on the field was mounted another. (This was told to me by another mentor on the team so I don't know much more than that) We have a solution for it, that I'm sure you guys are more than capable of implementing since your drive seems to be nearly identical to ours. PM Me if you want to know more...
