Re: 2012 Fingerlakes Regional
The new ramp underneath is doing a very good job of keeping balls from getting stuck. Once I saw a ball going in as the bridge was coming down, so it got stuck. As soon as a robot tipped the bridge up, the ball came out. A couple of times, I've seen a ball sitting just under the bridge (within a foot of the edge, off the ramp), and our robot was able to get it out without too much trouble.
All in all, IMHO, an excellent improvement by the GDC.
