Re: [FTC]: Opinion on lifting robots

Therefore, it seems to me that, as long as one robot is COMPLETELY supported by another, it counts as being lifted for the bonus.



The challenge then is, how do you get a robot up 18"? A ramp of some sort for that purpose would be quite steep.
Not if you make it long.

Technically if you had some sort of sheet of metal at the top of your robot that folds out into a ramp, and you're serious about being a ramp bot, you should have some kind of way to expand the ramp to be longer to not make it a steep adventure.
