Re: Ramps

BigJ I think that is a fair reading of the rules.
But it does not also say that it is one assembly exactly.
I am not saying that you are wrong (I think both of us are technically right), but the rules are just allowing for different interpretations.

And the ramp itself does not meet the definition of the robot because it does not require power, communications, control, and movement. So it isn't a robot on its own, and G25 was never broken because the robot did not intentionally detach anything as I stated before.

I just think that G25 needs to be extended to HPs and drive team members leaving passive objects on the field.

Has anyone tried to do this at a competition yet? If so what rules were cited?
