As a driver I noticed early on that our robot was extremely uncontrollabe on the ramp having trouble getting up without spinning out or not making it up consistently happened. However during auto mode it would perform fine!!!! So like some one said earlier the joystick/HUMAN DELAY was the problem. Our programmers killed that problem with the gyro. We use it to compinsate when ever we start turning too fast on the ramp making it easier to go up the ramp and even be able to turn on a dime, even when on the ramp. Conclusion your joysitck/human delay is the problem. Practice more or figure out a more controllable gearing for the robot.
