Re: Ramp bot vs. Arm bot
I my opinion a ramp bot is only as good as the drivers on the alliance. Trying to drive a robot on another bot with the same footprint is difficult at best. And I know that all teams will build to the fullest dimension possible making the task even more interesting.

The one thing I learned last year is that 30 degrees may not seem like a lot but many bots required a running start to get up and the number that rammed the back wall was staggering. Now imagine the back wall is your arm.
