Glad to think people had it in their minds whether in the back or front. I'm just glad it's being received well. We feel this is one of our best robots yet and we are planning to prove it.

I saw a similar ramp bot at the FLR

And how did they fare? Did they work?

I don't remember anyone actually climbing it unfortunately, but it was a very sturdy ramp (with a sweet wrong way sign on it!). Team 1518 I believe if you're interested.

PS: I expect to see the word Coopertition™ trademarked the next time you use it. :P

Just kidding.

Team 2053 TigerTronics had one at FLR. Our team (1640) tried it on the practice ramp, but we didn't have the traction (pic) to push up over the bar and onto the platform.

They deployed it on the field but as far as I know they didn't have any takers.

It was a solid ramp with anti-slip tape, but the robot needed some momentum to get up and over. With 1" to spare on each side it would take some fine driving to make it work.

They are going to Cleveland, so they may get it to work then. We were pleased to get asked by them to practice on it.

Well sounds like they should be able to get it all figured out. we've tested ours so we know it works but it'll definitely be fun at comp.

Son, you might wanna check what yer feedin' that ramp a' yers. It's lookin' a might scrawny. I mean, I don't wanna brag or nuthin', but we grow'em a bit bigger here in Texas...

FRC 57 Ramp Demo

Or you can see the system in action (sort of) at the Bayou Regional. Footage at 5:30..

Bayou Regional Day 3

Yes, we did just miss that hang. Cables weren't entirely even and one bottomed out before the other. We've taking care of that for Lone Star, though, so everyone better watch out.

Well lets just say, we know how to build a ramp. Sure it may look scrawny to you but it works very well, and effiecently. And we are happy with it. You know? The kids designed it and they built it, that's all you can ask for especially if it works $@#$@#$@#$@# well. But well look out for ya, I promise ya that haha. Good luck
