Re: pic: "The Seagull"

That is a very good idea (and sketch) you have going there.

One pointer is to keep in mind the lengths of each of the ramps you are unfolding. It seems that the second stage is much shorter than the first. This can result in non-optimal ramp angles. Make sure you make your design such that it can accomidate most robots out there with about 1" of ground clearance.


Good Luck!
