Breakaway question: getting on platform with meccanum?

Were there any teams who got on the platform from Breakaway using meccanum? Let me explain: driving on the bump and balancing in the middle, then driving the meccanum wheels sideways, i.e. strafing, along the bump and on to the platform. If not, did any of your teams think of it during the design process?

I'm just curious to know because I thought of it a second ago. It would solve the problem of trying to turn sideways on the bump to be able to drive forward on to the platform. But would meccanum wheels even work here? Is the platform too high up? If you had really thick meccanum wheels I think they would make the jump, just like those infamous meccanum fork lifts that can go up stairs (though the manufacturer doesn't recommend it )
