Re: Ramp bot and level 1 climb?

Thoughts?
Yes it's possible.
IF: Create a break in your ramp that allows the robot to brush the lower bar on its way up.

But don't do it
BECAUSE:
If you created a robot that could get a 10 point hang, and your partner does a 10 point hang, you will get 20 points also. If you can hang, then you don't have to rely on other bots to get your points.
