Re: Grade Slope for Robot Ramp

I agree that 20 degrees is safe and maybe even 25. Also, I suggest adding non-slip material such as the stuff used on stairs.

If you have the time, you can test your ramp by building a simple test robot. Try using different wheel types/sizes and try increasing/decreasing the weight of the robot.
