Re: Ramp bot vs. Arm bot
Well, our conclusion to this was to build a bot with an arm. To have a bot with an operable arm guarantees points for your alliance. To build a ramp bot you really are dependent on your alliance to get up on you, not fall down on their side, not be ramp bots too, and have the ability to score points without you helping offensively. SO, in my opinion it is a good idea to build an arm with as few degrees of freedom as possible and can place a tube on the spider leg in one swoop. Then, if you get your arm working smoothly with time left in the building season, build your ramp. The only pro for a ramp bot is that it can be an effective defense player
