Re: pic: 498's Aircraft Carrier Deployed

We are planning on having "guide rails" along the sides of our ramp to help our partners drive up us straight, we hope that will be enough to prevent them from destroying our arm.

We don't know for certain our ramp heights yet, however we're guessing it'll be between 32" and 36" long, which would give us an incline of about 20 degrees. We hope to fit 2 robots on top, we may or may not lift the ramp portion up at the end of the match to ensure both partners are 12" above the ground. The actual materials for the ramps are still uncertain, however the middle is going to be given as much material as needed to prevent destruction of our robot.

There seems to be alot of teams who have said they thought up a design like this at some point. Hopefully that's a good thing!
