If you go up a wedge it doesn't matter if you've still got two wheels on the ground as you've got nothing to push against- unless there's something stopping the robot from riding up on the wedge the best you can expect to do is drive back off the wedge if you've got any traction left.

We had four standards drills and I felt our machine had superior drive to many. Our design meant that we could drive off wedges, and (it was rare) but when we did get underneath we had plenty of power for pushing.

I'd agree with the notion that power isn't everything. Then again, I completely agree, Satanix's drive is immense! Certainly not a bad thing to aim for.
