We have are robot hitting the top of the ramp in 4 seconds. we can knock down 4 of the 7 bin stacks. if your robot can not go under the bar you will have a hard time getting by. our robot will be stopped on the top edge of the ramp sideways. so if you can not push your way by you will be stuck on our side of the field.

we will be taking up 3 feet of the 12 foot ramp. if you do not know where we are going to be it will be hard to get by because being sideways we have very good traction on the ramp.


The best way to defend the top of the ramp is being on the side of the ramp.

if a robot does get to the top of the ramp faster and locks down beware of the power of the other robots. about 10% of the robots out there will have pure power. and they put everything into having power. so I hope you uses steel becuase anything else will bend.
