Re: New Off-season Defenses

What about just continuing the slope of the platform to create what would have a triangular cross section. Satisfies the Breakaway Brigade who want a giant hump/ramp, and also satisfies the Cliff Contingent who wants a ramp that robots can Dukes of Hazard over with incredible air, but with the added effect that you can cross it both ways. It should be dead simple to built too. FOr added fun, add rollers onto the ramp sides embedded into the ramp such that the only way to cross is to go really fast and fly so high you crash into the castle before you hit the ground.

Got questions (about Notre Dame, robots, college, etc), don't hesitate to ask.
