Re: Idea to pull down Ramp???

We are using an arm with a small grapple that catches on the edge of the bridge, the pivot of the arm is higher than the resting height of the bridge so as the robot drives forward the ramp is forced down. We chose this because it seemed a little more gentle than the extendable ramp method, while still utilizing the power of the drive-train.
