That link's awesome.

We found that if we go up backwards we can come down fowards no problem =] but it was our first time out there for practice, and it was the first bot to tip, and everyone just was like OH!

Yeah we know we wont need to come off the ramp, it's just our shooter wasn't programed, and we wanted to practice getting on the ramp over and over again to get the hang of it, so in order to do that we needed to get off (wow, thats common sense) so yeah thats what happed
