Re: Ramp Angle Survey

I like the info posted here, it will be very helpful to us, as we are designing a rampable bot, hopefully capable of holding two others.
Here's an idea for you all to consider- what if, instead of a flat ramp, you had a curved (or maybe even parabolic-less trouble with that leading bumper edge) ramp. l believe that this could potentially allow a shorter (in length) ramp to accommodate a longer/less ground clearance wheelbase, especially if said ramp was parabolic rather than a perfect circular curve.
Just a thought. Let me know what you think.
