Re: Teams going after the ramp?

Quote:
Team 204 will be able to go up the ramp. It was one of the first items we talk about.
Ditto with team 1523. We have four wheel drive and built into design enough clearance to make, specifically to prevent problems such as this: http://chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictur...&quiet=Verbose

I think the problem with six wheel design is that the robot will likely have a high center of gravity. This, coupled with the robot matching the angle of the ramp until it reaches the crest where it could potentially slam down onto the flat surface of the ramp, damaging components.
