Re: 4 inches vs. 1 foot

A four inch ramp would work great during qualification matches because you are paired with a diverse group of robots that have varied drive train abilities. The four inch ramp would obviously be easier to attain peak upon if it maintains the same amount of run. A twelve inch ramp would be a more attractive choice for the teams choosing alliances because their robot would most likely have a drive train with the torque and grip to make it up twelve inches in elevation. Obviosly a twelve inch peak on the ramps would be a more attractive choice over a four inch peak due the fifteen more attainable bonus points which should come in handy during eliminations.
