Re: Should FIRST address "ramp bots"?

To those that are annoyed with not being able to push around ramp-bots: This is the whole point. The people designing ramp-bots don't want to be pushed around, and have taken steps to ensure this. If you feel it is utterly necessary to your strategy to push them, then by all means engineer yourself a solution to the problem. I've thought about it for about an hour total and already have two possible solutions for a pushing robot to defeat a wedge. They would have the added advantage of making your robot less tippable from things getting under it anyways.
