Re: World's Lightest Ramps

Most likely not. That was more of a packing foam we used on the bottom. What we made today was an actual constructed assembely that needs to be ridged but light. That is why pink shop isolation foam works well. It is way more brittle than the our 2013 cushion, that was like a giant pool noddle.

Just a clarification for others, our teams 2013 robot was just a climber so it had no wheels to drive with. Instead we opted to put a giant block of closed cell foam on the bottom just incase it fell. Lucky for us it only fell twice, both before season.
