Re: Going for 3 robots on Ramp?
We've been thinking for that a lot... considering either having a 30" by 27" robot or a 37" by 27" robot and basically maxing out the dimensions we could have to make for a sturdier drive base. Now, the question comes... what benefits do we have?...we eventually compromised with a 34" by 27" robot...Thoughts?


Keep in mind that the bridge will stay balanced based on the center of gravity of each robot. No matter how long your robot is, you can play around with the center of gravity to balance robots, even though they hang over the edge of the bridge.
