O.K. people, we have two weeks left to build. your team should really pick up the pace.

You mean you are relying on your momentum? If you ever manage to get fast enough you have ground clearence, a crucial point brought up by
sanddrag(thank you very much), and the possibility that you may just launch yourself a few inches from the ground, hit the wall, and crash on to the ramp. this may sound minor at first, consider the chance something broke inside or you basically ruin the field. even if it was a total accident you should avoid this. Besides, you may also richochet off the wall and your robot slide down the ramp and touches the carpet. Before you can get it
off the carpet the time runs out.
