Re: How's your ramp?

We did some calculations today and found you can just barely lift 2 170lbs. robots with 4 pneumatic tanks and 4 2" bore pistons (2 on each side of the robot) at 60 psi. We've decided to use 6 pistons to overengineer the mechanisms. If our calculations are correct, everything should run smoothly.
