Ramps

Hello so we have all seen the various ramps teams have come up with to deal with the tote chute. I have been designing one for my team and Ive come up with a few designs.

1. Passive design made with wood and polycarbonate.

2.non passive design with a window motor that raises and lowers the angle of the ramp in order to compensate for more then one tote at a time.

The non passive one is obviously better but would require a tether. My question is would the passive one require a tether too or would it just have to fit in transport configuration. Also does the ramp count towards total weight of the robot.

IF it does count towards the weight I would probably make a fully bent poly design.
