I think the 3/4 plywood will be to make spars for a ramp that has no flat surfaces at all. The 2X4s span between spars and are close enough that the 1/4 laun gives plenty of strength to support robots. The 10 ft 2x4s are used to make goals that are attached to the sides of the ramp. The goals are made from the poly carb rolled into a tube 8 feet long with holes that will accept pool noodles. The diamond plate forms a barrier on the sides of the ramp to keep robots from falling off. The pool noodles are color coded for each alliance.
