[Strategy and design] Robots made to climb up the corner

This is a quick sketch-up of a robot I thought up a while back, designed to go up the ramp via the corner pole. The robot simply drives into the pole and the angle in the front pushes it up the pole to initially leave the ground in the front, while the back wheels keep pushing. Therefore you completely get into position by doing nothing more than just driving forward.

As for how to climb up, after REACHING that position, I have yet to come up with anything. But I just wanted to share an idea I had and make a thread for anyone else thinking of anything else like this
