Re: Ramp bot vs. Arm bot

i see it this way too.. i like the ramp/lifter approach if only because of its simplicity. really, you don't even need the camera for the most basic ramp bot. it really doesn't matter how great your drive train control is because you are just running interference, no precise robot movement needed. in autonomous mode you just .. guess .. your way over to the opponents area and push/shove to an amount allowable by the rules.

wouldn't it be funny though to see a top notch ramp bot vs. arm bot in the finals? ha. the match would end with the ramp bot chasing the arm bot all around trying to lift it and bring to their own zone for 30 points... otherwise tie game.
