Re: Ramp and Tipping

I agree, we tried looking at it once or twice, but it looked like it would tip, so we stopped to do more research. We haven't tried again yet, but I'm sure that we won't stop this time, just be cautious and try not to tip it before the competition even starts. We also tried the challenge of the 1-point ramps with the balls, shooting them at various angles and speeds. Needless to say, we had to yell "duck and cover!!!" countless times until we managed to figure out that everyone needed to stand behind the ramp, behind cover, and be careful. We still need to do a lot of testing on both ramps, even maybe blocking them without tipping. Has anyone else tried any ramps yet? Either robot or goal? Sorry if this is going too off topic.

When bored, poke people, or if there isn't anyone to poke, get on a video game and kill people, and if there isn't a playstation or xbox, then just sit there and imagine your in you're favorite show, until you get bored, then rinse and repeat.

Don't mind me, I'm just the psycho that sits in the corner, bored out of his mind, dreaming up ways to rule the world...
