Re: Ramp Angle Survey

We're hoping to be having a ramp on the front of our robot, folding out to the sides. It will be 28" wide (so it will leave 10" of our overall length), will have a ramp fall of one side, then a platform with a 90 degree support fall off to the other. Then, we're going to try to mount an arm in the 6" we have left at the end of our robot for scoring tubes, with the arm being on the opposite side of the robot at the end of the match so our partners won't hit it.

Because of the design, we've decided what we're actually building is an aircraft carrier. Right now we're considering adding side rails to help guide partners, and possible runway lines or a bullseye for artistic value.
