Go to Post I've had parents tell me I'm a great role model for their daughters, because I was a female leader. It's a great feeling to hear something like that. - Liz Smith [more]

Re: pic: My wheel/leg design

You may want to try a tri-wheel.

Essentially its three wheels centered around a point, 120 degrees apart at the center of each wheel. Two rest on the ground and all three spin. When you hit a stair well, the friction cause it to pivot around the center and climb up the step, in theory. I played with the idea but never built it, I'm gonna see if I can do it with the Vex kit I'm getting this weekend.

EDIT: I added a rough sketch.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
