Re: Should FIRST address "ramp bots"?

I see no problem with a ramp bot and if I was worried about other teams having them I would try and figure out some way to work around it. I think it can be a good thing because, as other people in this thread have said, it reduces the force acting against the robot. In years past I have seen robots get severely damaged from taking a hard hit. If the ramp can help reduce these forces, I would be in favor due to the decrease in damage to the driveline and other parts of the robot.
