Re: Grade Slope for Robot Ramp

Having delt with several ramp before, I would say 20-25 degrees would be safe. Also, I suggest adding non-slip material such as the stuff used on stairs.

If you have the time, build a seperate (simple) robot so that you can test your ramp. When testing, try using differnt wheel types/sizes and be sure to change the weight of the robot also.
