Re: #teamtether club

4329 joined #teamtether this past weekend. We created a fairly lightweight ramp out of 1/16" thick L-angle and a few pieces of sheet metal. It at least doubled our tote stacking speed and allowed us to create at least a capped 6 stack in almost every match that we used it -





To my knowledge we were the only ones at St. Louis trying this and we never had any entanglement issues since we would just stay in the corner with our ramp the whole match.

For champs we are working on making the ramp start folded up and have it fold down in order to not interfere with teams that have a 3 tote autonomous.
