I've had nightmares about that particular event. I seem to recall team 66 trying to escape the palying field in 2005 due to their camera locking onto a stray object. Now, there were no ramps then, and granted it was in autonomous mode, but it still seems possible.

Other than that, it looks great! :)

Team 449 Found Fiberglass reinforced resin Grid. Used as grating in corrosive chemical conditions. Has embedded grit on side and smooth on the other. 1%deflection with 3 foot span and 260Ib load. 2.2 Ibs /Sqft. Is there any reason to have the middle? 1’ of a ramp? To save weight is there a wheel configuration that would have a problem with a ramp made of 2 tracks say 12” wide?
