      I have been trying to do a model that will climb over bumps, I lose traction even on the slightest grade. Also invisible bumps on floor, trips up the model, ok everywhere else on floor, problem still persists even with new floor component.
      Not sure if these are bugs or just operator error.
      Any body out there?

        Ok, I don't know what I'm talking about, but, is there a friction or attraction setting either for the "ground" or for the "wheels"? Some right-click parameter?

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          None that I have found. I am working on a video. I will upload it soon.

            This is totally uncontrollable, starts out bouncing like a horse.
            Here is the way it is put together.
            I used the standard floor, and extended it.
            Each of the four motors are grouped to their respective wheel.
            The servo is set at -60~60, acceleration of 40, damping of 10, grouped to one half, connected to the other half.
            There is a hinge grouped to the other half (the same half the servo in connected to)then connected to the other half, where the servo is grouped.
            What the heck is wrong that makes it act this way?
            I still do not know how to embed videos, can anyone help me out?
            meanwhile click the link.

              Hi, tspco:
              I went digging and found the Sketchyphysics Wiki. I found this clue to a possible answer:

              "Using the Physics settings window under Plugins/SketchyPhysics, you can customize global settings like the 'gravity', 'object density' and 'framerate'. The 'gravity' setting will affect both the speed that objects fall at, and their overall weight. 'Framerate' will affect the speed of the simulation; the higher the number, the faster it will run, but with the possible compromise of physics accuracy."

              But, like I said before, I am no expert with this. I hope this accidentally helps 💚

                  Hi, tspco:
                  Could you share with those who might read this thread what the answer was?
                  I don't agree that whatever it was- was stupid. Sketchyphysics is complex enough that there are more ways to goof it up than there are correct ways to accomplish your goal.
                  Another application with that attribute is a "well known dominant" cad program, but for different reasons.

                  Best wishes to you.

                    Well the truth is, I had the motors set to sphere, but not the wheels, they were set as default.
