A question about the Ramps in "Aim High"

Hey guys, I'm helping out my schools robotics program, and I hope I don't sound to brainless when I ask this. I'll try my best.

Team 348 needs to know What the diameter of the opening behind the ramp is, it's height off the ground, and the length of the platform underneath the platform.

Thanks!

Easy answer:go to usfirst.org and download the manual on the field construction

better answer:taken from3.2.4 Alliance Platform

Quote:

An Alliance Platform is located at each end of the
field adjacent to the Alliance Station Wall. The
horizontal surface of the platform is 12 inches above
the field, 48 inches deep, and 11 feet wide. The
surface of the platform is covered by clear
polycarbonate. An aluminum diamond-plate ramp
leads up from floor level to the top of the platform
at a 30-degree angle. 24-inch tall walls made of 1/2
inch polycarbonate form the ends of the platform to
prevent robots from falling off the platform.

The center goal is centered 102 inches (8'6") above the ground and is 30 inches in diameter. The green light is places 4 inches above the top of the opening for the goal.
