yeah that's a nice idea, I might implement it

The max slope will be 45 degrees, the acceleration is hard to come by because I'm not sure which motor will drive the wheels. That being said I am sure that it won't be anything too drastic. I'm not quite sure what you mean by counter-torques

we are looking into some of these options now, but I'm still concerned about the roller distance. We want the rollers to rotate equally, would the direction of the wheels rotation change this? i.e if the wheel rotated clockwise would one roller rotate quicker than the other and is there anyway...

Thank you for replying, In terms of research I haven't seen anything that discusses this specifically. I'm not quite sure how to approach the problem, below is the FBD diagram I have so far. I don't know the torque of the motor being used. The max weight on a roller pair will be around 120N...

I am currently building a dynamometer to measure the power consumption and rpm of a mars prototype. The plan is to place each wheel of the rover onto a pair of rollers but I am currently struggling with determining the optimal roller separation. If they're too far apart, the wheel might not...
