Well also there is one more thing i would say about goling up the ramp with your bot but since i want to get you guys thinking about it, whats goign to happen when you put anything weighing over 20lbs going faster then 2ft/sec at a 14degree incline, it wont climb! the bot will slide down the ramp if its going at all relitivly fast, or you prob are braking a rule if it doesnt slide right down or has traction on the grate (hint: you cant have anything go through the open 1"x1"grate squares...)

Hateto break it to you, but we move t 3-4 fps in low last yr, and we can move up the ramp easily with last yrs robot. It bottoms out, but lwoering the axles takes care of that
