Re: Breakaway question: getting on platform with meccanum?

If I recall, the platform was a good 6 inches from the top of the platform. Mecanum wheels are poor climbers in the sideways direction to begin with, a lip almost their diameter would be impossible.

I believe some teams with swerve drive had success in this endeavor, however.
