Re: Ramp help

Not to sound snotty or superior or anything (we aren't -- superior that is), but climbing the ramp was no big deal if you designed for it from the beginning. We thought we would never get picked for a finals alliance without ramp climbing so we made it a priority. Our robot found it easy, and we only used off-the-shelf $18 Skyway wheels with the KOP transmission. Is the problem that some teams didn't make ramp climbing a design priority and they didn't realize how important it was until they attended their first regional? I can see how ramp climbing would be hard if you didn't plan for it.
