Pssht, we beat them in the semi-finals.

i think 997 got over a 1000 in two regionals.

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

wow im surprised no has mentioned 1846 their ramps are pretty sick

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

Now that everything is said and done, I thought it would be cool to open up this thread again for some final insight.

What were the best lifting robots of 2007? (In my opinion, lifting was better and more efficient than ramps - as long as they worked...)

190 looked like it did pretty well at nationals (besides winning it all) - those anti-rollback devices were really sweet.

I liked The curcit stompers

Da Bears


And not to toot our horn because no one could drive up it for some reason

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

71's ramps were amazing. Nuff said. They did the job, and were pretty fail proof. other teams that had similar designs also had great ramps.

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

If this is only ramps, I thought that 545's ramp was very good. We got up easily and it played a key role in the winning alliance at Long Island. If this includes lifts too, then I would put 1501 as one of the elite lifters this year with 1555 very close behind.

I may be a little biased, voting for my own team........ but I must say, SPAM had the biggest and baddest ramps out there on the Curie field, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were the largest in the entire dome. Nicknamed the "aircraft carrier," our team was actually joking about having our chasis drive out from underneath and climb itself.... but that would not qualify for the 30 point bonus. :)

**We actually won an award for our "Rockin' Ramp!"

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

although I did like the "air mattress" bot...... I can't remember which team it was, but it used the air mattress concept. pretty sweet.

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

o contrare i think we had the best ramp this year:cool:

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

My personal favorite: At the Finger Lakes and Philly Regionals, Team 316 (LunaTechs) had the sweetest double lifting mechanism. I think it worked every time. Amazing!

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

Not to brag about my team(1528, iPirates) ramps, but 573 gave us a team award for having the best lifting bot at the GLR and we were receiving rave reviews for or ramps at the Buckeye Regional.

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

i can vouch for those nice cozy ramps:D

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

116 climbed on 93, 612, 620, 623, 675, 768, 975, 1583, 1655, 1748, 1885, and 2068 this year. Without a doubt, I can say our two favorites were 93 and 1885.

1885:


93:

Re: 2007's Best Robot Ramps
 

My vote goes out to team 190! They beat us with their ramps at SVR during the semi's and were very easy to climb during nationals, they lifted quick, and we would always get atleast fifteen points with their anti-rollback device which saved us a few times during the elims. They did a really good job designing their ramps and couldnt have won with out them

Good job guys!
