Impossible is such a strong word.
I have 3 robots, all 6-wheel low center drive at 119 pounds:
Bot 1: Heavier in front by 10 pounds, 21" from center wheel to edge of heavy end bumper
Bot 2: Perfectly balanced, 44" long
Bot 3: Heavier in rear by 10 pounds, 21" from center wheel to edge of heavy end bumper.
The bots are lined up on the 88" ramp Bot 1 (heavy end in), Bot 2 (in the middle), Bot 3 (also heavy end in). Bot 1 takes up 21.5", the center wheel is 0.5" from the edge of the ramp. Bot 2 takes up 44 inches. Bot 3 is like Bot 1.
21.5 + 44 + 21.5 = 87 inches. They fit.
Oh, and Bot 2 turned sideways on the ramp before Bots 1 and 3 positioned themselves, now you could fit Andy Baker on there too.
Oh, and all three bots are really 37 inches long, not 38, so there's extra room.
Still Impossible?
