your correct about the ball corallers...both those and the bar across the front of the robot have pvc (on the competition bot it will b poly carb) rollers on them stop the bot from riding up the balls.

as for the steps, our drive train allows us to climb the steps. the robot is kind of wieghted towards the front (the side with the battary) so that all we have to do is drive up the step until the front two sets of wheels are up on the platform and the bot will rock itself on.

and for going up the side with the six inch stair, we will used our arm to lift the front wheels up and then drive onto the platform.


if anyone has any other questions ask...my teammates and are will be more than happy to answer them.
