wheels = 104 pixels sooo,
1 inch = 17.33 pixels
14 inches= 242.67 pixels
Past the frame perimeter:
extends = 237 pixels sooo,
final extends = ~~13.67 inches, seems good to me.

also in the picture with the ramp set up, was that 22 degrees. I calculated about 27 degrees (probably just a calculation error, unless the picture was before a mod that allowed it to be only 22 degrees).
Phewf! Thats mighty close to be extracted from a picture. But someting tells me that they would have thought of that when they built it
