The poll is found here

If so many people are focusing on ramp construction, and if you will have one, we are just curious as to what your floor-ramp angle will be, and what set of points are you going for...

The hope is that an average approach angle can be achieved and be used in the planning of our design.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I personally a of the belief that not everyone that answers such polls is quite telling the truth. Creating a ramp, or other lifting device, that can succesfully lift robots between 100-120 lbs., that have different wheelbases, could have extensions, and different driving mechanisms is an extremely difficuly feat.
